My Lost Soldier

Now he packs to go away
And I am now realizing that I won't be OK
For one last time, I look into his eyes
Then it was time for our goodbyes

I was thinking in my head, why him
When I really knew it couldn't just be them
As he stepped foot out the door
I realized my baby is going to war

I tried to go on and even find a social sect
But without him I am a nerveous wreck
I waited long and unpatientely for my baby to return home
I could never ever see him or talk to him on the phone

I waited two long years and I thought I had won
I thought my man was coming home but it was not yet done
Finally I couldn't take it any longer
It wasn't killing me so it must be making me stronger

One painful day I was called to a place where the stench made me gag
Then I noticed my soldier was in a body bag
I dropped to my knees and hit the floor
I knew that my man was now no more

I thought to myself, why did I let him go
I need him now, why didn't I just take a stand & say no
Now I just can't deal with the pain
Why didn't they give me novicane

I don't know just what to do
Because now I don't have my boo
From my deceased lover
I am still trying to recover
