One Long Night!

On the seventeenth day of Christmas, my true love went away.  James has gone a-huntin'. I say this every time but when he's gone either to work or on hunting trips, I gripe and moan about how much I miss him and I will always for the rest of our lives.

I have the hardest time staying else where when I know he's home, my anxiety kicks in and I always hurry home.

I remember staying the night somewhere else one evening with him not there and my heart was yearning for him.  I couldn't sleep at all, just tossed and turned, so I opened up my computer and pulled up a picture of him and put pillows under the blankets on the side of the bed he normally slept on.  I cuddled up with the pretend James and fell right asleep.

I know we have the rest of our lives ahead of us but I want to ache for him forever and I will.

Sometimes, he's left for work very early and when I wake up, it startles me that he's not laying next to me.  I just roll over to find a little note he's left me telling me he loves me so much and how he misses me already.

Yes distance grows the heart fonder, but when you love someone so much you truly can never get enough of that person.  If you never lose that want and know you will always want him, spending the rest of your life with him will be rewarding and all moments will be cherished!
