She falls to her knees.
Heart beats slowly.
Tick tock.

Tears roll down her face,
So many thoughts.
Tick tock.

Can she do this?
She’s all alone.
Tick tock.

He had to leave her.
He had no choice.
Basic Training.

She can’t breathe.
Falling apart, little by little.
Tick tock.

She’s pacing around.
What can she do?
Tick tock.

This is only the beginning.
It will all be over in months.
Tick tock.

She can’t stop thinking about him.
He can’t stop thinking about her.
Tick tock.

He tells her he’ll be home soon.
She tells him she’ll be okay.
Tick tock.

Their love grows stronger.
The distance is a challenge.
Tick tock.
They know it will all be worth it when it’s over,
A new experience.
Tick tock.

They only thing left, is to let time pass.
Soon, they know they’ll be together again.
Tick tock.
