Million miles

Trought my school years I never imagined of falling in love. I wanted to stay single just from watching my friends get mistreated by their boyfriends all the time. On my junior year just turning 17 my best friend decides to set me up with a stranger I never known. I was really lucky to even make it to the place because my parents were so srtict with me at the time. So we meet and not even a word to say. I wasn't to excited, I was totally nervous. At the time i knew there was something in him I liked. I coulnd't understand that feeling inside telling me he was the one. My senior year after school ended he had to leave to the Marines and I had to go to Ohio. We both had decided to ended our relationship because we did'nt think it work from far distance. It was all over. On my 20 b-day there was a letter on the mail for me and it came from a Marine base with his name on it. It had taken him a long to find me and he did. After that day he promised he never let me go again. Today his my husband, my best friend, my hero. Within a millions miles away from me, he has kept his promise. I love him with all my heart and I'm here waiting. He has deployed overseas for 8 months and we only communicate by email and sometimes calls on the weekends. Today and every up coming day I wake up with a smile just waiting for him to come back home safe.
