You Were There by Tricia

I heard a song
and I saw your face.

I fell asleep
and I felt you near me.

I woke from my dreams
and you calmed me.

Although you are not here.
I find you. In the morning breeze.
I smell your cologne.

I came home from work
and I heard your voice.

I watched our favorite movie
and I felt you sitting next to me.

Yet you weren't really there.
Although some how I found you.
I felt your warmth when I was cold.
Felt your touch and kisses when I was upset.

But how can you be here with me when your so far away.
In the land of sand, land of war, land of no love.
But baby I know where ever you are,
our love his strong.
For once a girl finds her soldier, nothing she must worry about
for he is there to protect,love, and take care of.

So no matter where you are, I know our love is strong.
For you my love, your here but your there.
Love you today, tomorrow, and to the end of the world.

This poem was written for my soldier who is in Kuwait. Just a note to tell him how much i love him and that no matter what he is always with me even through the miles.
