The Other Half I sit up at night, all alone in my bed, Different images run through my head, Happy times, sad times, some memories appear, Then some happy tears, sad tears and tears that I fear. I hold his green beret, so close to my heart, Breathe in, breathe out, not much but a start, I sleep with his photo alongside me at night, Its the next best thing I get to hold tight. The quilt has moved over, I swear hes there, Seems to do this so often, this isnt fair, I toss and I turn, I sit up lay back down, Im shattered, Im hurting, and I cant sleep sound. My eyes are puffed up and they sting like hell, The mascara dont work, I guess you can tell, Finally asleep, still alone, but dont know it, Hes in my dreams, I see him, I love it. He grabs my hand and turns me around, We stop, we stare, there isnt a sound, He holds me close, then he starts to say, That he loves me and the kids, every day. He lifts my head and looks into my eyes, He tells me he loves me, its no surprise, He kisses my head, puts it close to his heart, Its then that I realise, were not far apart. The alarm clock is ringing, wipe the sleep from my eyes, Its another night over, its another sunrise, Ill continue my chores, until the very end, And wait for my Royal, my husband, my friend.
