We're laying in your truck bed, <br />Looking at the sky. <br />You are in your uniform, <br />That's when I start to cry. <br /> <br />You'll be gone for eighteen months. <br />For you, I will be strong. <br />I know I will see you again, <br />But, God, it's just so long. <br /> <br />You tilt my head up right, <br />Press your lips next to mine, <br />You smile at me, and calmly say, <br />'Eveything is fine.' <br /> <br />You wrap your arms around me, <br />Pull me in really tight. <br />I want you to hold me, Dear, <br />Even if it's only for tonight..<br /><br />Jessica Beal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/even-if-it-s-only-for-tonight/
