I Hate You...Cause I Love You Too Much

An intense, poignant and intimate narrative of a soldier’s wife, as she waits for her husband to be back. Can one really love someone so much…

My heartbeats are on the rise...
Such passion isn't wise!
  
I'm breathing heavily, don't know why but I can't help
You're close, I can sense, and there's a spring in my step
  
The days you were apart, felt like years
And now I am smiling, yet bursting in tears  
It was hard to be patient, waiting for you all along
The painful memory haunts me, of every moment you were gone
 
Since morning today, I've been on a high,
If I had wings, to you I would fly!
  
The moment is coming, when you I shall see
And forget everything else, just you and me it shall be
  
We shall talk and talk and talk, and how! 
Forget the past, let the future be, our life is in the now!
  
Be careful, I'll throw a tantrum or two
But you know dear, how much I love you!
  
Dying to be in your arms, see that twinkle in your eye
Your cute naughty smile, ah, I could let out a sigh….
  
Time was never our friend, shall pass by too soon
And it shall soon be time for you to leave
Answering your call of duty, to the motherland
A soldier has no let off, no reprieve
  
I've forgotten what it was like,
To love you freely without respite
  
Oh how I'd love to spend all my time with you
Never, ever let you out of sight
  
You need to be punished, for leaving me alone
A bundle of nerves I'd be, crying through each night
Praying for you to be safe,
To see another day, a new ray of sunlight
  
Don't come close I say,
Can't resist your touch!
  
When you are gone, I'll be lost
Out of breath, will miss you too much!
  
I hate you sweetheart
Cause I just love you too much!

This is an endearingly intense write, my friend. The way the soldier's heartwarming love for his sweetheart is expressed is indeed a spectacle. It catches how difficult it could be to stay apart from a loved one for too long with no notice from them, which is apt in case of someone like a soldier. Nice to read you and stay safe.
Regards.
