My Soldier
"Come back to me, soldier" I stood there at the Airport not wanting him to go. Me not knowing where he was going to be and if he was going to come home to me. "Babe, I love you so much." He said giving me a kiss that was so sweet and passionate. "I love you too Brett Ashwood." That's when the flight boarding intercom came on and it was his flight out. "I'm gonna miss you so much and I will come back to you." I was trying so hard not to cry. I smiled. When he grabbed his bag, I grabbed his hand and kissed him one last time. "I love you Brett." He smiled and walked down the airport. I squatted down and started crying softly. Come back to me Brett.
