*This one is for all of us* ~ for everyone who starts to feel that lonely feeling that we get everyday.. just read this!! love you girls! ♥
For all of you who wake up in the morning, lay there for a few moments, trying to swallow the sick feeling in the pit of your stomach as you wonder where your Marine is, or how he's doing...this is for you.
For all of you who start a countdown the minute he leaves, and continue to until he is back in your arms again...this is for you.
For all of you who tear up everytime .."Far Away.." comes on the radio, or who press repeat when .."Come Home Soon.." plays in their car...this one..'s for you.
For all of you who see Marine billboards, ads in the paper, or commercials on TV and next notice the tears rolling down your cheeks, this is for you.
This is for you.
I am one of you too. This is for us.
For all the times we sleep with our phones on the loudest possible volume, just as to not miss the call that just MIGHT come...
For all the times we roll our eyes when another girl is depressed because she hasn..'t seen her guy in a week...
For all the times we hear our Marine..'s name mentioned out loud, and are momentarily frozen...in a trance...in love.
For all the late nights that we spend alone, cuddling with our stuffed animals, wearing our Marine..'s sweatshirts and sweatpants, and clutching the precious dog tags around our necks...
This one..'s for us.
We may feel weak on the inside, but on the outside we..'re strong.
We may be drowning in tears on the inside, but on the outside, we are a rock.
We may want to crawl in bed and sleep until our man comes home, but instead, we get up and go on with our daily lives with our men in our hearts.
We may feel like we..'re slowly dying with each day we spend apart from our men, but instead, we put one foot infront of the other, and take each day as it comes.
We are strong, and we are proud.
We have more love in our hearts than we ever thought possible, and for this, we are thankful. We are thankful for our men and also for each other. We are Marine gals, and we lean on each other.
Alone we are weak, but together, we are strong. We help each other, and we survive.
To all you Marine gals out there, hold your head up and be proud.
We are connected, ALWAYS.
SEMPER FI Ladies ♥
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the man i love ----
No better friend, no better love
A bad boy, yet a good man
Strong inside and out
With a gentle heart and hand
Too easy it is to fall for him
And see your future in his eyes
Not worrying then of times to come
Not thinking of goodbyes
So there you stand with dogtags on
Worn close around your neck
Waving goodbye to him and praying
For the day that bus comes back
Then its lonely nights in bed
Waiting for the phone to ring
Dreaming of the times you've had
Remembering everything
You wait for letters sent by him
And cherish every word he writes
Reading them each over again
To help get through the lonesome nights
You wake up to midnight phone calls
To hear how he has been
And say "I love you" enough times to last
Until you talk to him again
You do your best to tough it out
Without a shoulder on which to lean
Smiliing while thinking of how it feels
To fall in love with your Marine!
