Poems & quotes for my sailor

[Navy_Girlfriend_08-24-09]

***Love is when you miss him even before he leaves,
when you could listen to him talk all night and never get tired of hearing his voice,
when the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,
and you see his smile the second you close your eyes.

I may not get to see you as often as I like, I may not get to hold you in my arms through the night,
but deep in my heart I truly know you’re the only one that I love and can’t let you go!*** <3

***I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all*** <3

***You taught me to love fearlessly and to open up my heart. I've never known anyone like you. I love you to no end.***<3

***I'm so sad and depressed
Is all I want to do is rest
I go to sleep at night
But my dreams I just can't fight

I think of you lying in that bed
And wonder if there is anything I could have said
I wish you were still here
But I know that you are still near

I love you more than you know
I just wish you didn't have to go
I just want one more day with you
And I know thats what you want too

I miss you more and more each day
There is so much more I could say
I know I will see you again
But my life is just started to begin. ***<3

***I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a man!***<3
