Love Poem: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

To the love I left behind 
 You’re image always on my mind
The cool summer breeze rustling your hair 
 The gentleness in your eyes telling me how much you care 
These all locked in my heart you see 
 And keeps me going in this God forsaken country 
I did not want to be here 
Yet the choice was not mine that was made clear 
Each day I hope and pray 
I will make it through another day 
I want so much to be back there with you 
To celebrate the holidays and start the year
 Maybe my dream will come true 
And I’ll be there for Valentine’s Day with you
