Killed in war

It's funny how movies
End on a note so good.
Why mine ended badly,
I never truly understood.

Why did you go?
Why did we end with death?
Why wasn't I near you
When you took your last breath?

We had a good relationship
Everything was fine.
I've known you since,
Well, since I was nine.

And after we were friends
We fell madly in love.
But a tragic event
Sent your soul up above.

And I cry every night,
Because I still can't believe
That you were killed in a war.
Oh! Why did you leave?!

You were my first true love,
My one and only.
The country sent you to Iraq
Leaving me lonely.

And if I had one wish
It would be to see you again.
My one and only love,
My first true friend.
