"My Love,

This had to be one of the worse days in my life. To see Brian lying there with his brains scattered over Ted’s couch and floor was horrifying. What bothers me more than seeing such a sight is that I did not get sick this time. I’m afraid that I am getting used to seeing gross body parts lying around. No one should allow themselves to get that way. I finished guard duty alone and without a sergeant, not that one is really needed, but I found myself falling asleep a couple of times while I was driving the jeep. My mind turned to you to bring me back to reality and in the few minutes that I have been home I wrote this for you:

Delirious

I was on the road and very sleepy

My eyes were just about to close

When the car ahead suddenly stopped

I was startled awake and hit the brake

What woke me I did not realize

Until I looked to the passenger's side

There was an angel that said stay awake

I looked real close and the angel was you

You spoke to me tenderly and soft

You coached me with hit the brake and push in the clutch

You put your hand on mine and said

Let me help you shift the gears

When I arrived you were gone

I was so sad and I missed you

Til time to leave and you were there

I was happy as we spoke and drove

You may have saved my life

But what is life without you there

Cause you were gone when I was done

Once again I was alone

I shuffled into the guardroom

I lay down in bed to embrace the sleep

You were there and I was pleased

You took my hand and said close your eyes

You gently passed your other hand over my eyes

There we were you and I

I in a tux and you in a gown

You took my breath away as I became astound

I came to you and you to me

We held each other close

As just you and I danced slowly across the floor

Your head on my shoulder my head to yours

Your arms were around my neck

Mine around your waist

I pulled you closer as you nuzzled me

I did not want to end the scene

You lifted your head and said you had to go

I was distressed and said please no

We passionately kissed and then released

I watched you walk away into the light

You said before you were out of sight

If you ever have the need for me

Just close your eyes and there I'll be

I said then I will never open my eyes to see

The glow engulfed you as I reached out

Rest you said and I did without doubt

The morning came and the sun was bright

I felt better because you came to me in the night"
