Goodbye

Leaving loved ones
for war and pain
saying goodbye
they’re going away

tears falling from our faces
not wanting to let go
wanting to know when they’ll be back
but that answer we’ll never know

wondering if they’ll make it back
or pass when they’re away
wondering how they’ll make it
crying every day

their lives are passing
remembering every little thing
wishing to God
wondering what he will bring

but when one day
all the terror begins
knowing that you will never
see your loved one again

visiting their grave
almost every day
remembering the moment
when they went away

wishing you could just
hug them tight
letting them go
giving a proper goodbye

not letting them go
not wanting to be apart
telling yourself
they’ll always be in you heart.
