"The Moment"

“The Moment”

Finally home and moments away from seeing you

I don’t feel like I’m walking, but just floating through

I’ve never been so nervous and excited before

All the sleepless nights of travel to you are no more

On the phone talking, you turn around and I feel your smile

I can’t get to you quick enough, the moment last awhile

Deep in my arms, I once again feel you heart

All the hurt and loss gone now, a brief break from our struggle apart

You smell of sweetness, the wetness of your kiss

Our arms around each other, I’m dizzy in bliss

I don’t want to let go, but I want to see that beautiful face

I dreamt of this moment for months, I feel like I won the race

For the first time in a long time, I am happy and can smile

Hand in hand we leave the airport, life is perfect for awhile.

This was what I felt as I got off of the plane to see my love for the first time in 6 months from Iraq while on leave.
