just read me

by Spoon - Gemini


He stands tall as they shout in his face.
His eyes show no emotion as he wishes for someone to take his place.
His heart feels totured when he turns to say goodbye.
Holding back his tears as he looks towards the sky.
He reaches out for one last kiss, glancing lovenly at the son he is going to miss.
He thinks back in wonder at the man he has come to be.
Not so long ago his life had been so carefree.
His wife looks adoringly at this handsonly clad man.
So loving,
So perfect.
He has given her all he can.
Endlessly he plows on.
Never giving up.
His strength giving her hope,
His love keeping her strong.
For months he will be far, far away.
She will long for his touch every single day,
For time has given her much to ponder.
Her gratitude is high,
Her admiration like thunder.
A man who has given her every once of his soul,
loyalty,
respect,
Probably more love than she'll ever know.
Nothing they could say can express what's in their heart.
Most simply put,
They'v been in love right from the start....

Reason for writing:

    
My husband is in the military. He has been gone in Kuwait for 4 months now. Luckily he'll be home in 2 weeks. 
I just feel really lucky to have a man who is so wonderful to me. In my eyes he is as perfect as perfect can get.
So.... To my husband, Bryan, my best friend in the whole world, I love you!!!!!
