Proud Girlfriend of a U.S Sailor

My boyfriend is currently a sailor of the US Navy. His rate is an EN and is carrying out his duties on the USS Carter Hall. He is the love of my life and will always have my heart. He knows what little things make me laugh...and the things that make me cry. Hes a hard worker and is dedicated in everything he does. He knows what the meaning of "real love" and knows exactly how to express it. Hes not only my boyfriend...but my best friend. We can have long talks about basically nothing and argue about the littlest things. But in the end..we always end up laughing. Before he left, I thought that my world was going to fall apart. But I learned that him being gone has only made me love him that much more. I look forward to the times when he comes home and I can run up to him and he automatically knows how much I miss him. I love those long talks we have before he leaves and how he promises me that we will always be together. He knows exactly what it takes to bring a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. He is my boyfriend and he is a United States Sailor. I love [MDF]! Period.



I'm so in love with my sailor,
yet we're always apart,
and though the days are hard,
he's always in my heart.

I hold him in my heart,
until he can be by my side,
and it gets harder and harder,
every night that passes by.

I see him in my thoughts,
and all my fantasies and dreams,
he's the only one I think of,
or so it truely seems.

I imagine all the good times,
the ones where we laughed and cried,
and I can only miss him more,
and wish he was by my side.

The ocean took him away,
and now I just want him here,
and I really wish in that moment,
that he could just appear.

Though I know he'll be back someday,
It still hurts me when he's gone,
and I wish he never had to leave me,
but somehow I still move on.

I worry for him and his safey,
and secret tears will flow,
but through all of this,
he still loves me so.

I'm so proud of my navy boy,
and I can't wait to see him again,
but this is the hard and joyful life,
of what we call a navy girlfriend.
