I look at the horizon The sun kisses the sea The sky blushes pink at their love The clouds hug the sky I feel the sand tinkling my feet The water cleansing my knee The wind whispering about love in my ears I close my eyes and picture your arms wrapped around me Your lips just inches from mine Your heart just a beat away from mine We got married in the summer of '09 Right before you got deployed I said my vows knowing that you could die I didn't know it would be this soon I imagine your soft lips grazing my neck Your stuble leaving marks on my cheek I imagine you whispering 'I love you' against my lips As the sea crashes the shore I picture us saying our 'I do's' I will never forget your big 'ole heart Your bravery of risking it all for your country You are forever in my heart With these ashes that I carry In this heart shaped locket you gave me If I were to know that this is how it would've ended I still would've given you a chance.
