I watched the clock tick closer to our Anniversary.
Sitting in the dark alone I wished you here with me.
I saw you there beside me with a smile on your face.
Imagining you happy and not in that awful place.

I told you that I’m happy that I belong to you.
Told you that I miss you and that I love you too.
The tears came as expected when I realized I’m alone.
And that it will be several months before you can come home.

I watched the time slip slowly past as night turned into day.
Watching as the living room turned from black to gray.
I never left that stupid chair except to run and see.
If you had sent a letter saying Happy Anniversary.

But the mailbox, it was empty, much as I am feeling now.
Trying hard to understand and cope with this somehow.
I guess I didn’t stop to think how hard this year would be.
To be a married woman with no husband next to me.

And as I sit and watch the day turn slowly into night.
I lean back in this stupid chair and pull you into sight.
Today more then any other day I needed words from you.
To hear you say your glad I’m yours and that you love me too.

I sit and watch the clock tick toward the closing of the day
I watch the room change from light and fade to lonesome gray.
I let the teardrops fall once more and drown my misery.
And whisper to the darkened room… Happy Anniversary.

I cannot express the feeling inside me from reading this...

I only wish I had the power to help you...

Man, this is one tough poem. I'm just a man, and so I don't always appreciate how much it means to a woman when it comes to little expressions of love. I feel guilty for your husband because we are both men, and I might forget someday to be more sensitive to the feelings of the wonderful woman who allows me to call her my own. This poem reminds me that I am truly blessed to have a loving woman. I hope your man will realize the same thing and try to make amends for this bittersweet day.
