Your Girl

We were just babies but it was love.

We were each other's best friend.

We fought like dogs and cats but always found our way back to each other.

Oh how I remember driving down those backroads with the wind in our hair just dreaming big dreams.

That was when we were invincible and the world couldn't touch us.

Flashes of memories are what I have left.... blankets in the woods while we made love under a canopy of trees.

Lying to our parents just so we could see each other.

Staying the night in a tent in the woods when my mother thought I was staying the night with a friend.

Dancing in the rain...soaked to the bone.

Gosh I was crazy about you.

I knew from the beginning you were going to be the father of my children.

Everyone told me not to marry you; you weren't man enough.

I didn't care; I only wanted you.

We had our beautiful baby boy in 2008.

Oh the laughter we had raising him those first few years.

You decided to join the military and I fully supported you.

Once an Army wife, always an Army wife.

As a soldier, you were the man of my dreams. So supportive...

But as a civilian, you couldn't seem to get it together.

I felt so alone.

I felt like I was in a marriage by myself.

We tried so hard to keep things together; therapy, religion, etc.

Nothing worked.

We were too young, too ignorant of ourselves to know how to help each other.

I conceived our baby girl.

Tears, so many tears I think we both grew numb inside.

Our marriage dissolved.

Time passed, new loves were found.

As it turns out, two broken hearts don't make the best decisions.

I'm divorced again, you're not.

Why is it after ten years I can't get over you?

Is it that there is a deep connection between us that can't be broken?

Is there really one true love for your life?

These are the things I question.

I don't want anyone else.

I don't trust anyone else.

If it's not you, I'd rather be alone.

To me, I'll always be your girl.
