Cherish

Five months, one week, five days
Distance between today and heartbreak.
When the military calls him
He will respond with no regret
While I am stuck in this hell hold
Wishing he was here to caress
I may have once betrayed him
And torn him left from right
But now that I know his true love
Without him I fear to die
I have loved others before him
But nothing like the feelings for him
This is a new sensation
The constant fear he will be taken away
I am an army girlfriend
Wishing he was here for always
I will never leave his side
I will never leave him for another
If the government calls for him
Ill kiss his cheeks
And wipe away my own tears
Ill hold his hand up to the gate
And slowly let it go
Then ill cry as he walks away
And hold my head strong as I do
For the time that he is gone
Ill be brave and Ill be strong
Im an army girlfriend
And I cherish the time he is mine
I cherish the time he is home with me
I cherish the time we have to be
