NO better friend, no better love <br />A bad boy yet a good man <br />Strong Inside and out <br />With a gentle heart and hand <br />To easy it is to fall for him <br />And see your future in his eyes <br />Not worrying then of times to come <br />Not thinking of goodbyes <br />So there you stand with dogtags on <br />Worn close around your neck <br />Waving goodbye to him and praying <br />For the day that bus comes back <br />Then its lonely nights in bed <br />Waiting for the phone to ring <br />Dreaming of the times you've had <br />Remembering everything <br />You wait for letters sent by him <br />And cherish every word he writes <br />Reading them each over again <br />To help get through the lonesome nights <br />You wake up to midnight phone calls <br />To hear how he has been <br />And say: I love you' enough times to last <br />Until you talk to him again <br />You do your best to tough it out <br />Without a shoulder on which to lean <br />Smiling while thinking of how it feels <br />To fall in love with your Marine!<br /><br />Cherokee Lady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/falling-in-love-with-a-marine/
