Love's Redemption Poem by Jesse Artley

I can beg you to not go, plead for you to not leave;
But truth is I'd still be here if you did
Confused and heartbroken, but eventually I'd be able to breathe
I don't care what I deserve or how much better I could do,
Maybe you just don't know how many years I've been waiting to
Be the one lucky enough to get to be with you
Even if I'm not able to explain this overwhelming feeling that's in me,
I'll keep trying to; I promise it's there and always will be
Maybe it's just me, or maybe something the Army did,
All that matters to me anymore is that I'm with you in the end
