Necessary Separation

Author Unknown

I watched as you left in November

To sail onto the sea

I knew it was just as hard on you

As I watched you wave goodbye to me.

Until you left and that bus pulled out

I could not shed one single tear

Now you have been gone for 180 days

It has been half a year.

It feels like only yesterday

I have kept myself so busy

Working at a pace that has kept me

Spinning until I was dizzy.

Now yo are almost home

And I just can't believe

How long I thought I wuold have to miss you

As I waited for you to leave.

But now you are almost home my love

I think I've done really well

We have people to see when you are on leave

We have a truck to sell.

I thought six months would never pass

But they have flown because I knew

That you were my protector

And God was there for you.

There were times that I was worried

I thought things would never end

I knew you would be back to me

Because you are my best friend.
