One week will seem
like a year to me
for I know that my love
I cannot see

But I also know
deep down in my heart
that even distance
won't keep us apart

For there he'll be
deep down in my soul
where with each day
he'll keep me whole

I'll carry him around
in my heart with me
so the distance apart
I do not see

I already miss him
and he's just left
for to be without him
just leaves me bereft

My love for my man
is one, that does burn
and I look forward to seeing him
on his return

But until then
I will carry his name
as the guiding light
to my hearts flame.
