Him

Happiness is...

Him. All of him. Being with him. Talking him for more than one hour, one day a week. Seeing him---really seeing him. Being held by him.

The life of a military girlfriend is no walk in the park. But oh, isn't leave glorious.

It feels like it should, a real relationship with real ups and downs, and more than just the telephone and computer. It feels like love. It feels like the perfect vacation. If only it didn't have to end.

Happiness is this. Tomorrow it's back to reality. But for today, I can revel in it.
