I still remember out first date, how we just sat and talked and got to know each other. Nothing was expected of either of us but conversation. I still remember what we did for my birthday that year and how you took me home for new years to meet you family at the last minute unplanned. I still remember the day that I had to take you to your ship when you had to leave. If I think of it long enough, the tears still come as if it happened yesterday. That was the longest five months I had ever spent without you. I was so excited the day you came home. Over time we grew together and apart and now I find myself without you completely.
