Our last few days were filled with so much bliss
But now I sit here just wishing for one more kiss
You packed your things and walked away
Only turning back to tell me to stay
Now you are there and I am here
I’m all alone and drowning in fear
But every time I try to talk
People just sit there and gawk
How can she be so selfish they ask
She doesn’t have to fulfill such a big task
“What about him” they all agree
But no one seems to bother to ask what about me
You left everything behind
After that contract was signed
Now you do what they say
Knowing they won’t lead you astray
You paid a huge price
Just to try and give us a better life
All people see
Are the sacrifices you made for me
“What about him” they all agree
And again everyone forgets... what about me
I gave you my heart
But that was just the start
I gave you my all
I told you I was in it for the long haul
But now I am all alone
Only able to talk to you through the phone
I try my best to make things easy for us
Trying not to make a big fuss
But I am expected to do whatever you say
Like there is no other way
And I am supposed to blindly follow every decision you make
No matter what is at stake
They all want you to be happy
Without me getting snappy
They look at me like I hold you back
Or like I am going to throw your whole life off track
I just want to do what is best
And forget all of the rest
But I get no say
So it doesn’t matter anyway
I’m stuck here
Feeling broken and insecure
Just trying to be ok
So that everyone else can go on with their day
“What about him” they all agree
But this time I ask
“What about me?”

No one seems to notice that having a boyfriend in the military is just as hard on me. But, I am expected to be ok and give up everything, no questions asked.
