You're Leaving*

I know that I still have some time
Before you go
But just the tought of you leaving me...
Well i just can't handle that
At all
You won't be there to talk to everyday
You won't be there to make me laugh everything away
You won't be there to make everything ok
You'll be overseas
More than 2,000 miles away
It all just seems so unreal
You leaving
Maybe never coming back
I realize
That this is something you want and have to do
But I just don't want you to
I don't want you to be another face on the news
Another moment of silence during school
I want you to still be alive
I want you to come home to me
Please don't leave
And I'll hate the letters
Cuz they'll remind me too much of what we used to have
I don't think anyone will feel
Excactly how I feel about you leaving
But then again
No one loves you like I do
I'll miss you
And want to be with you so bad
Cuz after all I did to you
And what you did to me
The truth is I still love you
And you still love me too
Don't leave all of this life you had behind
So go do your duty I guess
But only if you have to
Just please come back to me
When you're through.

This goes out to a guy I know who will soon be joining the Marines and going to Iraq. Tell me what you think.
