I am joining the military.
I will take my asvab soon.
Then it is off to bootcamp next year...or so.
Such a long waiting line.

My girlfriend is concerned about honesty should I leave for a time.
I once worried about that after I realized how much I love this woman who I have found myself with.
At that moment I took the oath I'd made to myself to a new level.

Never shall I drink, for fear I might find myself one morning in the bed of some other woman or even in the arms of her during the same night.
The drugs can have someone else, for I shall not let myself commit myself to them and not this woman I love.

No distance, no time, and nothing else I can think of to date has the power to sway me from this course save the woman in question leaving me, or me leaving her. Both are about as likely as me spontaneously turning into a penguin with bear paws and a beaver tail.

I understand your fear, but I can say that you need not worry about me. If you are willing to stay with me, and you love me...

Well, if you truly love me...

Any mistake can be forgiven my dear.

Even the ones you haven't commited yet. The ones you will never commit. And the ones you fear you might or could commit.

And my dear, I already have forgiven anything you could do so long as you still love me.
