57 days seems like a lifetime.
A lifetime that separates two.
A lifetime, when the love of your life, your other half, is hundreds of miles away.
A lifetime, when you cant talk to, hear their voice, or feel their touch.
I hear it's hard to hold on, but I don't see how your couldn't.
My other half is at Fort Jackson, training to protect this country, our rights, and our freedom.

I wrote this because it is 57 days until i get to see my boyfriend, he left for boot camp and 57 days really feels like a lifetime when the person you love is gone for that long, especially when you've been together for 3 years going on 4.
