♡ A Love Story ♡

Summary:

A soldier and his best girl find love while in the middle of a war. | I don't write poetry, but Peggy and Steve made me do it. | Steggy-inspired but the characters aren't named.

Work Text:

The middle of the night,

A tug on her hips,

A smile on her lips,

A brush of a kiss.

Arms around each other

“I missed you,” he says.

“I missed you too,” she replies.

He wraps her in his arms

She lets out a content sigh

The warmth of him

not just the warmth of the blankets.

She always sleeps better in his arms

She wishes it could always be like this.

He’s home at last.

Long days apart,

Nights too short together

But she’s so happy when he’s here.

It’s nice not to worry about him.

She’s always worried when he’s away

She’ll keep him safe in her arms,

And she’s safe with him.

A whisper of love

A promise of devotion

Her heart is full

Her heart is complete

No matter how far he has to go,

He’ll always find his way home.

She is his home.

Stolen moments through the day

Like the brush of their hands

A kiss when no one sees

Smiles across the room

Moments that mean so much

She aches for more -

for more than just moments.

She catches his eye across the room

Her dark curls and red lips

She lights up a room

Her beauty, her heart, her soul, her mind

He’s so lucky to be hers.

Loving her makes him whole,

Loving her fills his whole heart.

She smiles when she sees him

His golden hair and ocean blue eyes

Strong, noble, and sweet - and he’s all hers

He’s staring at her but she doesn’t mind

She loves how he admires her.

Her heart flutters despite the night they spent

Or is it because of it?

She can’t wait for the day to be over

So she can wrap him in her arms

So she can kiss him again and again

He can’t wait either -

for the day she’ll be his

She’s already his,

but he wants forever.

When the war is over he’ll propose

They’ll be free to have a life together

If he can wait that long to ask.

He wants moments that aren’t stolen

He wants every moment with her

He will always love her,

always and forever

She knows he wants to marry her

She knows why he’s waiting to ask

The uncertainty of war hangs over them

He doesn’t want to break her heart if he’s lost

She wants him anyway, heartbreak and all

“Ask me,” she pleads.

“You know I’ll say yes.”

“I know, sweetheart,” he says

“Then let’s get married.

Our moments will no longer be stolen.

I’ll share my life with you.

Our hearts will be full.

I’ll love you forever,

And I’ll always be yours.”

She kisses him and holds him close

“Oh, darling, I can’t wait to be your wife.

You’re already mine, but I want forever.”

So they married and the war was won

They were happy forever,

And loved each other every day.

Every moment.

Their friends say

No one has ever been as happy

No one has ever loved so much

They complete each other.

There’s never been such a devoted husband

Or such an adoring wife

And they lived happily ever after. ♡
