Description "Navy Girlfriend"
Date: 2/5/08

I'm so in love with my sailor,
yet we're always apart,
and though the days are hard,
he's always in my heart.

I hold him in my heart,
until he can be by my side,
and it gets harder and harder,
every night that passes by.

I see him in my thoughts,
and all my fantasies and dreams,
he's the only one I think of,
or so it truely seems.

I imagine all the good times,
the ones where we laughed and cried,
and I can only miss him more,
and wish he was by my side.

The ocean took him away,
and now I just want him here,
and I really wish in that moment,
that he could just appear.

Though I know he'll be back someday,
It still hurts me when he's gone,
and I wish he never had to leave me,
but somehow I still move on.

I worry for him and his safey,
and secret tears will flow,
but through all of this,
he still loves me so.

I'm so proud of my navy boy,
and I can't wait to see him again,
but this is the hard and joyful life,
of what we call a navy girlfriend.

Great poem. I take it your boy is a "lifer" too? I know exactly how you feel. As much as I love bragging and showing off photos of my sailor in his dress whites (I can't help it, he's so dang handsome in them!), sometimes I wish he'd just get a dang desk job somewhere just so he won't have to leave. I haven't been able to "see" him since early January, since sailors aren't allowed to use skype on the ship, and they haven't been able to port since then >< I'm going insane! Does it ever get easier?!

Thank you and no, my husband got out back in 2009. It was SO hard when he was in though. I wish I could say it gets easier, but I can't be sure of that. Those dress whites are just...umph. lol. Anyway, stay strong You will always be stronger because of these years. Thank your sailor for his service to our country! You can do this!

Hey, I just want to let you know I love this. When my boyfriend gets back I'll show this to him I think. But for now...I think I'm going to cry. Beautiful.

FallenReflection In reply to The-Youkai-Nightmare [2008-06-15 02:17:19 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. This is my favorite poem, ever. haha. I was and still am SO proud of it.
I didn't know you were dating someone in the navy? he at boot camp? I know it's
hard. My best friend/fiance is in the navy and will be for another four years. He's
currently on deployment. He won't be back until October (if he's not extended)
and we haven't seen each other since March 10th. I really miss him, but I know he
loves me. You're NOT alone. I've been dealing with this navy stuff for almost two
years now. If you ever need someone to talk too, I'm here. I know it's hard, but
us navy girls, gotta stick together. Hehe. I'm so glad you liked my poem and
don't cry. It's gonna be okay.

The-Youkai-Nightmare In reply to FallenReflection [2008-06-15 03:11:01 +0000 UTC]

You should be proud of the poem! I am dating a guy in the Navy, but he's at a training different from boot camp now to be a nuke. I also know what you mean by best friend/fiance, but technically he's my boyfriend. I get to see him in July though, just on time for our 2-year...one whole year has been him in the navy though, which I just realized...I haven't seen him since April 7th.

Yeah, let's stick together! Our sailors are amazing.

Awww...thank you. That's so cool that you're dating someone in the navy.
It's hard isn't it? It just made me stronger though. All my best friends
(accept the one I live with) are on deployment. I can't see them until
October and it sucks, but i'm getting through it. Two years is a long
time. Congrats on that.
Awww...they are very much amazing!

Does he know what he wants to do no since he won't be in the service?

He called me two days ago and decided to stay in for four more years.
I'm not liking it, but I support him 100% on his choice.

He's nearly done with his third week of boot up in Illinois, and after that he's going down to Florida for school.
Getting his letters are the best part of the week

Aww...glad you're good and congrats on the phone call.
I'm doing alright. Just missing my man... a lot. He promised
to call or talk to me online yesterday, but never did... i'm
a little angry about that, but then again, i understand that
he's busy, but i got to talk to two of my good navy friends
off his ship through msn and on webcam. i don't understand
how they can take the time to talk to me and see how i am,
but he can't do the same and we're engaged. really makes
me wonder if he's the right one for me ya know? i don't
know... i'mma take a nap. take care.

No worries about not responding, it happens n__n
I'm sorry about your fiance, but i'm glad you've found someone that cares for you like you deserve.

Things are going well, I saw him on the weekend of Oct. 20th after being away from him for 4 months, it was wonderful getting to spend time with him again. I can't wait to see him for christmas(2 weeks!) and to celebrate our one year anniveresry together

What about this new guy you're seeing, what's his story?

FallenReflection In reply to theladyangus [2008-12-03 21:43:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for being understanding and thank you.

Awww...that's awesome. I'm glad things are going well and I'm
glad you got to see him and you will see him for Christmas.
That's so great!! Four months is a long time. I've had to do
a six month deployment. That was harsh... but I made it through.

I'm dating a guy named Ian...who recently believe it or not,
asked me to marry him. He's amazing. I met him through a
friend of my ex-fiance's. He's stationed in the same port
and on the same ship that my ex was on. He's uberly sweet.
He treats me so well and I'm so happy being with him. We're
getting a place together really soon and I never thought I
could be so happy in a relationship. Things are going good
for us and I know that he has another deployment to go on
and three more years in, but I can handle it. It's worth it.

Aw, I'm sorry he didn't call, maybe he had some extra duty or something to do?
I get the same doubts sometimes though, but I get them from just being alone and seeing all my friends happily persuring people right in front of my face, ya'know? What we've choosen isn't easy, but that doesn't mean it isn't the right choice, though I think we all woner if there isn't always something better out there. Mankind is never satisfied with what it has, I wonde if that is a bad thing...?

Sorry that was kind of a crazy ramble, my bad :/
