Why can't I get you off my mind,
you were my past that I left behind,
it was a great summer romance I'd never forget,
I remember every detail about that day we met,
then summer ended and it turned cold,
I cried for days when your recruiter called to say it was time for you to go,
our letters went from everyday to a few a year,
there was nothing I could do since I was stuck here,
it was bound to happen that we'd have to move on,
it's been 7 years now since you've been gone,
I couldn't believe it was really you when you called me the other day,
but it hurt more knowing you were no longer enagaged,
I couldn't believe you really made that women your wife,
so I hope you weren't the love of my life,
you told me that things were not working out,
I hope you know that a homewrecker is not what I am about,
you were the one you left me for the military,
I am not the one who went and got married,
you will always have a place in my heart,
it's just too bad that distance had to tear us apart.
