Departing Words To War |

| As I leave u this day,
I cannot help but say,
This is not the end,
This is not goodbye,
For if I admit it is, I admit I could die,
If I ever come to terms with such a thing,
The only thing that worries me is the pain to you it might bring,
But I cannot leave you now,
I simply don't think I know how,
To leave u with just a kiss,
Could there ever be a worse nightmare than this?
As I leave you and step to my plane,
I look back knowing deep in my heart that we may never meet again,
And what will you say of this day latter down the road,
Is this a story of witch you're children will be told?
Will you remember this day?
Later in you're life if should I pass away,
I look to the heavens and pray oh my god,
To keep you safe and above all,
That you not forget me as I leave this place,
Knowing in my heart I go to fight for the best of the human race,
Please do not look back with anger at me,
I did what I thought I must u see,
And so I look back one last time,
To comfort my heart as it tells me this rhyme,
And I look into you're eyes that with me have stood the test of time,
And I say to myself,
I now must return home as not to just be some untold story upon some unseen shelf.
So I cannot say goodbye you see,
Cause if there is a god who answers my prayers one day it will once again be you with me.
Goodbye my love,
Goodbye my turtle dove,
Just know this one last thing,
As I leave to fight there is one little ring,
That I wish to give you but I do not dare,
As soon as I get home it will be on you're finger because I put it there.
Goodbye! | Alex Crabb
