Loving A Sailor

Just expressing what it's like to love a military man

First you're close, 
then far away.
Even if I wanted,
you couldn't stay.
Don't fret my darling,
my love can last
Another month, even a year
'till you come back, when you get here.
So rest in ease, cease your fears
because the worst had passed, we've dried our tears.
Loving a sailor is not as wearying as missing him,
but the rewarding bond is more strong than it is thin. 
My heart isn't breaking, it's lightly stretching
For true love is not the feeling, it's the decision of enduring

Criticism is welcome

The final line "Its the decision enduring" is great. Very true. Nicely done.
