You'Re Gone

I don't think I'll ever be able to stop loving you.
So please, don't go.
I hate to think that it's almost your time.
So please, come home.
I've never felt this way about anyone before.
So please, stay mine.
I can't bare to watch you walk away.
But, I know you must go.
You're getting trained my darling.
To be the best damn Marine you can be.
I know you have what it takes.
Just come back to me safe and sound.
All I want is you to come back to me in one peice. 
But, once you're eighteen..
Which isn't so far from now.
You're going to get taken away from me.
The deployments are hard,
The days are short,
While the nights are long.
For every day you're gone,
I get quieter,
More lonley,
And I just feel like everything around me is going to not be the same.
I stare endlessly at your picture..
Just so I can see you're smile every night before I go to sleep.
I haven't heard you're voice in awhile.
You haven't called.
Oh please my love.
Be safe,
And come home to me.
