"he said I'm sorry but I'm leavin,
i got to go,
please try and understand,
I'm doing this for both of us,
ill be back again soon,
that i can promise",
those words playing and playing,
over in my head,
as you walk out that door,
why'd you have to get sent away?,
"this is something bigger then just me",
you said,
"I'm doing this for my country,
ill be back in no time,
then we can start our life together, you'll see",
a lifetime away,
is what I'm forced to wait,
for you to come back to me,
Ive been forced to let you go once before,
why must i be forced again?,
when will it be our time?,
when will this nightmare be behind us?,
where i don't have to worry constantly,
we can finally be like normal people,
think about normal things,
start a family,
when will it be our turn?,
i know you said you did it for us,
and eventually that family we both want,
but all i can think about is why?,
why this job?,
selfish i know,
but cant stand a minute without you by my side,
now you're not here,
and i can barely see,
everything we've talked about,
everything we've planned,
disappointed within a matter of seconds,
how could this happen?,
seems like years without sleep,
look over to see your side of the bed empty,
night after night,
wonder if you do the same,
i read your letters,
with tears coming to my eyes,
all the love put into them,
finally the day comes,
and you walk through that door,
like you have a thousand times before,
but today's different,
because you're finally back for good,
never to leave again,
finally its our time.
