There comers a kiss and a promise of more, and in his mind fond memories he will store. Reluctantly, painfully, letting him go, while your dying inside from wanting him so. Watching him leave with eyes full of tears, standing alone with your hopes, dreams and fears. It's sending a letter with the stamp upside down, to your far away love in a far away town. It's going to church to kneel and pray, and really meaning the things you say.
Weeks are like months, and months like years.
You wait for the day when you'll have no more fears. Yes, loving a Marine brings bitterness and fears, Loneliness, sadness, and despondent years. Loving a Marine isn't much fun, But it is worth the price when the battle is won. You will be there for her in spirit and always in her thoughts. You try to make her happy, though the Corps twists your plans in knots.
