My Fighter

When I gave you that last hug
I didn't want to let you go
I wanted to stay there forever
With your arms wrapped so tightly around my body
Standing there in your warm embrace
At times I can still smell the scent of you
Like you are here hugging me again

There are times I feel as though you never went
And I turn around hopping to see you
Sitting on the bed, waiting on me
I'm still not used to sleeping by myself
It's still lonely in bed without you
At night you kept me warm
You cuddled up against me
I felt that you were there beside me
And I knew I would be okay
That nothing could happen to me
You kept me safe
And in the morning I knew I would wake up with you
You always kissed my forehead before doing anything else

I wish I could just have you back for a second
So that I could feel that touch once again
I let you out of my reach, out of my sight
So you could go do your job
I am so proud of you baby
You are the most amazing person I know

When someone asks if I have a knight in shinning armor
I simply reply, No, I have a fire fighter in dark blue
My fighter is much better than any knight can ever be
My fighter is strong, not only physically but emotionally and mentally
He is my world, my soul, my heart, my everything
And here I will stand, right here
In this very spot you left me
With open arms waiting to hold you so close
