Long are the days before,
I leave for what will seem
Like a lifetime
Short is the time i have,
To spend with the one i love.
The road is rough,
The soul is wanting.
Never wanted unfinished things
Unacomplished dreams,
But now duty calls,
And nothing means more
Than the lives that I protect
And the heart that i want.
Hopeing for understanding,
Walking away
Never forgotten,
Never forgetting,
I leave,
Hopeing to return,
To the one i love.
