High School Sweethearts

One day he tells me, "I'm going into the Air Force", I said Ok, Well I'll be here when you get back. His senior year goes by along with my junior year and of course every couple has their struggles. Ups and downs. I was afraid that he might forget about me when he left for the military. The date that he's supposed to leave keeps getting closer and closer and I start falling more and more in love. A day without him is like a day without sunshine. August 24th rolls around. 2nd day of my senior year, today is the day he leaves. So he walks me to my class and kisses me. At this point my heart is pounding because I know he's going to leave for a long time.
I wrote him every single day, sent a picture with the letters. Did what I told him I would do. Graduate, Start college, save money, and be right there for him when he gets back.
I knew right then and there that he was the one; and so did he. He comes back from Tech School with a ring<3
