I know him

I studied his face a million times

I can recognize his walk

The uniforms blend them

But I know which is mine

 

I have waited months

Counted the hours passing

I shake with pride

As he marches on the field

 

I wait as they speak

Not taking my eyes off him

Knowing at last he is safe

 

I know his voice

And listen for it

As they let us reunite

I find the tears welling up

 

I cry from the comfort

Of his arms finally around me again

I know his scent

And I breathe the safety in

 

I know his hand

And the way mine fit perfectly

I know his kiss

And I kiss him over and over

 

I know his heart

And I know he know mine

I am drawn to him

Like a moth to a flame

 

I feel  the release of the stress

The worry that aged me

I finally feel at home

And I just embrace it

 

The car ride next to him

I know his drive

I know how his favorite radio station

I know the relaxation that hits

 

I know his growl

The one only  I can hear

 Know his head and every hair upon it

I know eyes and the way they make me sparkle

 

I know body every curve of it

I know his freckles

I know his side of the bed

And how it is again full

 

I know peace and love

I know he is mine

I know he is home

I know he is safe

 

I simply know him

I know his birthday

I know his laugh

I know him as a man and solider
