Sweetest Goodbye
The feelings they share but dare not speak
Needing one to make the other complete
But yet duty calls and he must go away
Leaving her heart empty with things she cannot say
He leaves on the plane with her face on his mind
She prays to God above to help with the hard times
They both will experience at night when they go to bed
Thinking of all the things they had left unsaid
Being hit by insurgents he struggles just to breathe
Thinking of the day he can pack his things to leave
Hoping to hit American soil once again before he dies
But still 6 months left to go; he lays down and cries
Meanwhile he's on her mind constantly every day
Waiting at her house hoping he'll phone her way
But 2 weeks not a word has passed through her ears
Silently in her mind she begins to live her own fears
Finally though he calls with good news for her soul
After 15 months over there and his body taking it's toll
He's coming back to patch the gaping hole in her heart
No more battles or trials and no more being apart
The day finally comes when they meet again face to face
They embrace once again their hearts begin to race
For neither cares to admit the love that they feel
For life's but a crazy game that God chooses to deal
