Im not sure if I can make it,
Dont know if I can go on
Its not that easy here without you,
Not so easy when youre gone.
Worries fill my mind all night,
Fears fill my heart
Will you come home safely,
Or will we forever be apart?
I can hardly make it through my day,
Tears fill my eyes before I sleep
I am so afraid you wont come home,
And be mine to keep.
I can barely turn on the television,
Without fearing to see your face
What if you dont make it?
What if I lose your sweet embrace?
I know you rarely tell your stories,
I know some of what you share are lies
I dont always know if youre telling the truth,
I cant look into your eyes.
I pray for your safety,
I use each wish on the shooting stars
I only want you here with me;
Come embrace my heart.
I respect what you are doing,
But each day I am scared more
I stare outside the window,
Pray youll walk through the door.
I awake in the morning,
And think of you throughout the day
I check my phone every other minute,
For you call, I wait.
Sometimes I wonder if theyve forgotten,
The men and women still fighting this war
Its not over when our soldiers are still dying,
The numbers just go up more.
I hope that if you ever feel weak,
You can use my love as strength to get through
Just know Im still here waiting
waiting for you.
