Two years is too short of a time with someone you love. Especially if they are deployed overseas for the majority of your marriage.
But what if he comes home, but not the way you envisioned it so many times in your head?
This poem is from the point of view of a young military bride.
*This is a pantoum poem I wrote in my college creative writing class. I found inspiration from my brother, who serves in the military as well as Carrie Underwoods' Just A Dream*

Between grueling training, impossible expectations, and the weight of responsibility, love was supposed to be the last thing on her mind. But when feelings start to creep in-unexpected, inconvenient, and all too real-she's faced with the hardest battle yet: balancing the life she chose with the love she's always wanted. Because in her world, there are no fairytale endings. Or are there?Complete
