All she could do was wait for him to come home
and she was afraid her worst fear had come true
it had been what felt like forever
with all the heartache she went through
after a year of nothing, finally the day came that she got a letter
it's from him she thought, it has to be
but when she read the letter
she knew it was something she never wanted to see
---------------------------------------
**Dear Emily,
I am so sorry to tell you like this
and not tell you for so long
but something happened
I met someone while I was gone
I know you'd like her
she's a soldier just like me
you probably found someone new anyway
and I'm guessing that you're happy
I'm in California now
she lives with me too
you can call me if you want
I would like talking to you
I want to hear how you are
what happened with you while I was away
if you met someone new
and if you're doing okay
Love, Your Soldier
---------------------------------------
She wasn't okay at all
and nothing could make this alright
the only love she ever had
found a new love when he went off to fight
she felt so foolish
why did she ever let him go
now all alone raising a baby
with a father she may never know
her heart was so broken
remembering their last night
how he held her so close
and made everything alright
she knew she had to call him
tell him he is a dad
but she didn't know how
there was now another life he had
