Brave and strong as he could be was my last plea, you see. Destroyed my world to see him go but what else was I to do? So loving he was and caring too, he told me not to worry but still the pain hurt. He said "your eyes are like stars that shine in the night".
"Your heart is like a fragile 'ol soul, it breaks just like glass and falls in love like the fish in the sea". He told me, it was either I or him, I couldn't say a word for I was in total shock. He walked out the door and I seen him no more.
Still not able to say a word, I walked to my bedroom and stared at a picture of us. Tears, they were flowin' like a river or a stream and so I wiped them away with the sleeve of my shirt. "What did I do wrong? What did I say"? was the words that popped into my head.
Years had past when he called me, wanting to come back, I let him beg like a dog wanting a bone. He knew my answer would be "no" and no my answer was. I don't know this man, never see him before is what I tell my friends but really he's just a soldier I once knew.
