I never thougt I'd love someone more the longer they're away
I wonder how much more I'd love him, if he could only stay
I have always heard it said absense makes the heart grow fonder
I never thought it was true, but now I sit and wonder
The time we shared was so short, it semed but just a minute
Now my lifes seems so empty and incomplete without him in it
MY days seem so long, and the nights ade longer still
Will it ever change? I think someday it will
Maybe someday we'll meet again and it will be just as before
Or maybe for my life, God has something else in store
I only pray each day for his peace and happiness
Because he rought back to me such joy and tenderness
If I seee him again, or if I don't, I know it is God's will
But I hope that he remembers me and knows I love him still.


This is another one for my friend who is now in Iraq. He was the first person I had anything to do with after my divorce, and I have moved on since then, but I do have fond memories, still consider him a friend, as he does the same to me...and I do still love him for being there, even for the short time that it was...over a year ago
