Everyone, or at least everyone's seen ' Pirates of the Caribbean, At World's End,' or they've seen enough scenes of it here and there to know what I'm talking about. Well I just got the soundtrack (Thank you Amazon!!) and I'm listening to the music of it. First of all it's so beautiful. Hans Zimmer is by far one of my favorite composer's of modern music. With movies like DragonHeart and the Pirates movies under his belt, who wouldn't agree?

So, back to my thoughts... Remember the last scene with Elizabeth and Will? They kiss and he has to leave, never to see her for another ten years? I don't want to say 'Oh that's me!!' but I can't help but think it. Ok, it's not so dramatic as 10 years for a single day on the land so he doesn't turn into a tentacly monster, but my situation is just as heart breaking, at least to me it is.

Being in the military takes me away from my loved ones. Specifically my significant other. If you don't know, or haven't read in my now, I'm in South Korea, stationed for a year here. I'm 75 days from leaving this place. Each and every day I've counted the time, and the only thought is that soon, soon, I'll see him again. I'll be in his arms, and I'll be able to touch his face, kiss his lips, feel his strength and be renewed.

Only I don't know if he can come with me to my next duty station. In that sense, I feel like Will and Elizabeth. My reward is that I'll be able to see him for maybe a week or two, before I'm off again, doing what I have to do because I feel it's my duty and responsibility to do so. That movie strikes me hard, and that last scene hurts to watch. Am I just overthinking things, or is the waning time grinding to a painful halt for me until I am left with nothing to do but clutch his picture to my chest and vainly try to remember how his lips feel against mine?

I hurt, and my heart is not healed until it's pieced back with its' better half. Sorry to drag anyone down with this...

Angel, I miss you.

Yours truly,
Your insignificant nobody
