I count the hours,
I count the days.
How much I miss you,
I count the ways.
I miss your voice,
I miss your touch.
And I miss the face,
That I love so much.
How to describe it,
There is now way.
I walk around,
In a permanent daze.
I long to feel,
Your warm embrace.
And to see a smile,
Upon your face.
I will not sleep,
Won't close one eye.
Until you're home,
Safe and alive.
While you're overseas,
And I'm safe at home.
I think of you out there,
In danger and alone.
This is the life you've chosen,
And I can't change your mind.
You've found your inner bravery,
And now I must find mine.
I miss you so much,
To the moon and the stars.
And this feeling will go on,
Until you're safe in my arms.
