For you, I would sacrifice.
For you, I would protect you.
For you, I would do anything.

The words don't form on my tongue, but the words display themselves on where the ink was just laid on here.

I miss you. I miss you still.

Do come back for me. I want you back here. Safe and with me. Not there and surrounded by nightmares.

I don't want to be known as the widow much longer my dear husband, The tears fall again as I write this, like they always do.
Sometimes I have to write this all over again, so I can give you a nice white sheet. Not one that is tear stained and damp in certain splotches in the bottom corner.

I still gaze out the window, humming our tune as I wait for our reunion. Last night, 11 seconds after 11:11PM, I saw a shooting star.

Normally when we see them together, when I'm held firmly in your embrace, we would wish that each other would remain safe with them by our sides.

But last night, I wished you'd be coming home alive.

I don't want our little addition growing inside of me the we created, to grow up without a father.
A father he can't call a hero. A father figure to grow with them each day as I will be.

You'll always be my brave soldier. Keep fighting.

I'll always be your lover at home.

Sometimes my creative thoughts fade, like the sun rays as clouds roll by in the wind.

You may return to me broken, scared or scarred,
But nothing will stop me from loving you, caring for you.
I'm not breaking the promise we agreed on at the altar.

I miss you. I miss you still. I will continue to miss you.
Until you come home to me dear.

I want your embrace, kisses and never-ending love filling me again.

I'll wait,
Every second, minute, hour, day, week, fortnight, month, year until...
You, our child and I can reunite.

Come,

Home
