You Can't Understand

If you're not in love with a soldier, you don't know what it's like to say a final good-bye.
You don't know what it really means to be glued to the television.
You don't understand fear and you can't possibly understand the sleepless nights and endless crying wondering if you will ever see the love of your life alive again.

If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't know the immense joy, the uncontrollable smile, or the butterflies in your stomach when you see your soldier again.
You can't ever really understand self-control.
You don't know what it's like to have that second "first kiss" or what it's like to experience puppy love all over again, and again.

If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't truly understand how to make every moment count because you never know when you'll hear his voice again.

If you're not in love with a soldier, you can never really understand how very delicate life is!
