the freezing rain pelted my torn face.drying blood seaped through my ripped and burnt clothing.i felt nothing in my legs,my arms appeared intact but would not function and my lungs gurgled every time i gasp for breath.
the cold fog crept hauntingly across the field
as trees loomed over the sky.in my eas was the deffening roar of silene.i gazed up at a cloud covered moon and i began to surrender.i thought of how funny life was.i never got anyletters from home so i used to write letters to myself and send them to my next station.solders are crue without meaning to be becouse theyll raz u over your mail,or lack of.now,as i lay here i found myself wishing i could hear their jearing again.i knew i was dying and that was ok,i just didnt want to be alone when i did.
i must of drifted off becouse i remembered the time i raced a kid in school.he had worked all summer,three jobs,to by this brand new z28 camaro.i had a hemi cuda back then and we were running for pinks.well the kid lost,but i didnt take his car for some reason.we became best of friends.a year later,that same kid was killed by a drunk driver.sad,yes.but theres more.the kid died pushing me out of that drunks way.
then i remembered a girl i truely loved.we never got togather becouse we were always going with someone when the other was free but we became best friends.suddenly i saw her.she bent down,told me'bill,im here everything isv going to be alright.she bent over and kissed me and my heart started beating faster and i strugled to get up and be with her.
5 months later,in a florida va i woke up.i had been comotose.the guy next to me said he was with the team that found me.he said the only thing that kept me alive was i kept yelling,mina.
and that kept my mind alive in which kept me alive.
had i more space and time id fill in some of the blanks,but for now,theyre nesteled in my heart.when i got discharged they had a big medal ceramony.out in the crowd i thought i saw mina but to this day ive never seen her since.
it was the love,true love from a true friend that kept me alive and ill hunt for her till my dying breath .then ill have but one thing to say,that i never got to say before,
MINA,I LOVE YOU
