I'm sorry this must be in writing rather than in person.
I feared that by facing you with my decision,
You would find a way to change my mind.
Please understand, my mind is made up.
You always said I was smart and strong.
I am being smart.
We had no future,
We come from opposite sides of the track.
I am being strong.
I'm protecting you and yours from harm,
Both from myself and from others.
Let me follow my dreams,
But know you hold my heart.
Should I die,
Know you carry a part of me forever.
Should I make it out alive,
Know I will search for you.
And if you'll take me,
I'll be yours.
Hon, I'm going off to war.

Semper fi.
For that soldier saying goodbye to their sweetheart. I know its hard, believe me, I do.
