Today my heart is aching

For a man that's far away

I would give anything to hold him

And any ransom I would pay

I find my mind just wanders

To a sandy barren hell

And pray that my loving thoughts

Find my soldier safe and well

Each night before I go to bed

I look up to the skies

And the moon brings me comfort

As my tears brim in my eyes

Despite the miles between us

We still share the stars and sun

So I gaze upon them often

It helps me know we are still one

So as I lie down on my pillow

I close my eyes and think of you

Not only in my waking moments

But you are in all my dreams too

My gorgeous handsome soldier

I love you with all my heart

And the hardest thing I've ever done

Is have to accept we had to part

But our love is so much stronger

Than any force I've ever known

In the short time we've been together

It's amazing how much it's grown

So until we are reunited

Please stay safe and strong

My heart is yours forever

With you is where it belongs

Think about me often

My gorgeous handsome man

To wait for you forever

Is my battle plan
