My boyfriend left for the army on august 7th. Before he left, we'd spend nearly every day at my house, hanging around in the family room, with the tv on, usually on Fuse. He always liked seether, and I think they're alright, but over those two weeks we had before he left we heard this song nearly every day. We heard it on our last day together. Five weeks later, and it's following us. It's everywhere we go. It was the first song that came on when he was allowed to use his ipod a couple weeks ago, it played over the radio while I was in stage construction, thinking about how he'd be proud of my using power tools successfully. It's taking a lot of effort, but we're making our way through this. We can only talk to each other maybe once a week, if he's allowed to use the phones. The same with e-mail. He can send letters, but not receive them yet. I wear his old dog tags every day, I say goodnight to them in lieu of him. I hold them when it gets too hard. We're both learning to take everything a day at a time, but each day leads to one specifically - He gets to come home for christmas.
