Wishing on that 4 leaf clover ...

I'm dying inside, preparing myself for the worst.
We came to this place with the promise of being together for 3 years, and now this.
We've fixed so many things, become such a strong team, learned to LOVE each other.
And once again, we will put our lives on pause for what you call your duty.
Iraq.
You've done it twice, left me twice.I've been lonely for 7 months at a time, twice already.
I didn't see this coming again so quickly.
It breaks my heart.
The fear resurfaces as I relive the feelings I faced every day while you were gone.
Every time I heard a knock at the door I feared the worst.A strange man could have been standing at my door holding a folded flag and your dog tags in his hands for me to weep over for always.You returned to me, safely - in body and mind.I thank God for that every morning when I wake up next to you.
I feel like it's happening all over again.
I don't want you to go, but I can't ask you to stay.
Each time you are called away from me, I hope that the goodbye's become easier.But they don't.
We've been lucky twice my love, when will our luck run out?
Please come home to me, I will be anxiously waiting.

<3 I hope for the best.
It broke my heart when I found out my brother was going to Afganistan, it's a big ordeal that no one should ever experience, let alone twice.
