You have to leave me now
to defend our country
as all heroes do.
It's selfish I know
but I wonder
as every day passes
if I will ever see you again.
For years you've been
such a huge part of my life
and I can't imagine it without you.
Life works in mysterious ways
so I remind myself that nothing is
ever going to make perfect sense,
and that's just the way it is.
I tell the world this is how I feel,
so my days overflow with laughter
while my nights are full of hope
that our paths might cross once more.
