"My Navy Guy!"
She so fondly called him back then

With a sad sigh,
he longed to hear her say that again

~

He didn't believe at all in love at first sight...
exist it mustn't

Saw it as only a spell, magic, a trick of light...
but it wasn't
~

He forever gave up his heart for hers instantly...
having never even met

Knowing from the start she was a divine entity...
why isn't she here yet?

~

He had a thousand things all at once to say,
he got short of breath each time at the start

Not always important, mostly stuff day-to-day,
but words to her always came from his heart...

~

"I love you, JUST you." That's what he used to say,
He meant every word then and he still does today

~

His world was shattered, ripped apart, then she stole away his sorrow,
He needed her as much then......as now......as he still will tomorrow

Their passions once ignited as bright as the sun.....hotter than a solar flare

~~

Navy blue sweet nothings.....whispers, thru the intoxicating smell of her hair

~~

Her car rolled down the drive.....she said "It can wait!!" so it stayed there

~~

She pulled him quickly into the shower.....still in his clothes but he didn't care

~~

Rain on the beach turned up the heat.....hours into her eyes he would stare

~~

Walking away she smiled and winked.....it toppled his already leaning chair

~~~

~~

~

He'd try to separate thoughts from visions from memory from fantasy,
if only he could-

It all became a blur...

~

Were he able to create a single day to repeat throughout eternity,
he gladly would-

If only to know her...

~

He sailed the world on the USS Kennedy, aircraft carrier...

once a strong confident sailor, battle hardened warrior

~

But these days at sea, he's always alone, forever adrift...

USS Broken Heart, the edge of nowhere, caught in a rift

~

Life without her is too much...
the very essence, 

of
precariously
perched
on
a
crumbling
ledge

Do wish him the best of luck...
or her presence, 

before
he
falls
backward
over
the
edge
