What It Means To Be A Soldier's Girl

What It Means To Be A Soldiers Girl
It Is Being Alone For Months On End, It Is Living For That One Moment
That One Kiss When We See One Another Again
It Means Putting On A Brave Face In Public And Pretending Nothing Is Wrong
While Secretly Inside I Am Wanting To Die
It Means Waiting For The Mail Each And Every Day
In Hopes And In Prayer For Just One Letter
It Also Means That You Become Accustomed To Having The Phone Attached To You At All Times And At All Costs…For You Are Having High Hopes Of One Phone Call
It Means You Are In Constant Prayer For Him To Be Ohkay And A Safe Return
It Is Finally Realizing What Is Feels Like To Carry Real Love With You
True And Pure Love…And No It Is Not A Fairytale By Any Means
Military Relationships Are The Product Of Many Tears
Born Both In Happiness And Despair
It Is Nights Alone
Wondering If He Is Safe And If He Is Looking Upon The Same Star You Are
It Is Looking At Pictures Knowing That Is The Only Way You Can See His Face
It Is Saving Every Message And Calling Your Voicemail To Hear His Sweet Voice
It Means Not Washing His Clothes Until They Alone Have Lost His Scent
But Most Of All It Is Knowing It Is ALL Worth It In The End
Because You Know You Have One Of The Purest Loves In All The World
It Is Pride Because Your Soldier Truly Knows The Meaning of Honor
The Meaning Of Courage And The Meaning Of Commitment
And It Is Not Only For The Army But To YOU
And Knowing That Alone Makes EVERYTHING All Worth The While
It Is Not Just About Loving A Man Who Wears The Uniform
It Is The Dedication And Strength Required To Make It Through The Times Apart
It Is In The Support You Are Able To Offer Him
Most Of All It Is In The Love You Give That Helps Him Make It Through
Even The Toughest Of Times
It Is The Way 6 – 8 Months Apart Can Be A Relatively Short Period Of Time
And Yet ONLY 5 Minutes Can Last An Eternity
It Is TRULY All Spoken For In How Just One Phone Call For Weeks
Is Unimaginably Enough To Make You Smile For Weeks On End
This Is What Being A Soldier’s Girl Means To Me
