Just the start of another day.

 Your song comes on the radio.

Sly & the Family Stone.

"Thank You".

As you wiggle in your jeans.

You think of your boy,

far far away.

Sitting on the corner of your bed,

you read his last sentence.

"I'll be back in your arms,

soon my love."

......................

Just the start of another day.

You unfold her letter,

putting it to your nose.

Inhaling deeply her scent.

Sitting on your helmet,

you put pencil to paper.

"Soon my love,

I'll be back in your arms."

Promises of love never,

to leave again.
