Soldier, you've surpassed survival,
Your immortality reflects your strength.
Although it seems as if you've left something behind,
In reality, you haven't seen what's taking place.
Your lover, she's back home;
every night, she stays up to cry,
You're so far away, and she needs you;
it seems as if her tears will not run dry.
There's a part of her that is missing,
And she wants to take this pain away;
she's seen you cry, she's seen you scream.
Darling, her feelings are still the same.
It's painfully obvious that you're not coming home,
It's like a bitter taste in her mouth she just can't rid;
she needs you to hold her close within your war stricken arms,
And forget everything that you once did.
She wants you to be there with her,
She wants to dream with you and share her thoughts;
she knows how much you're going through,
She knows how hard you've fought.
But they're sending you away, soldier,
She thinks that she's not strong enough to survive,
She continuously thinks of her death,
Planning her suicide.
She knows all too well that you'd be devastated,
But it's just getting so hard to breathe,
She needs you to be there, she needs you there,
Not so far away, just come home, please..
She's trying to withstand this distance,
It's as if they're egging her on,
Like she needs to prove something;
like she's done something wrong.
But tonight, you sit with her crying,
And the tears that fall from her eyes, they ache;
she's going to love you no matter what,
And mend your heart. It doesn't matter what it takes.
She loves you, soldier;
Just please, please don't go..
She'll miss you.. just so much..
She loves you.. more than you could ever know
