at 6 we were best friends
at 12 I had a crush on you
at 14 you admitted you felt the same way as I did
at 20 you proposed
at 21 we got married
at 25 we had our son
at 29 you decided to join the marines
at 32 you were sent to Iraq
at 36 they told me you'd been captured by the enemy
at 40 they told me you'd been killed
at 43 our son decided to be just like you and join the service as well.
at 46 I got the message that he'd been killed just how you did.
at 50 I was all alone
at 55 they put me in a nursing home
at 58 I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I could only remember one thing.
You.
I'll always love you.
No matter what.
