To My Marine

You break my heart, baby. I tell you I can't wait to start our grown-up life together & you tell me you can't wait to go to bootcamp & get your career started. You remind me every day how few we have left. Call me selfish, but I'm going to miss you so much & I wish you wouldn't go. What am I supposed to do when we get married, without you for a few months at a time? You were my first kiss, my first boyfriend, my first everything. I follow you blindly in love. How can you be so eager to leave me? Your best friend since math class.
