Before the war
Before the war
There were days we wouldn’t stand each other
And days our bodies danced to a rhythm
On a starry night
We took a walk in the park
Laughter filled the air
Until he stopped and looked me in the eyes,
We kissed with so much passion
I thought I’d go insane.
When we pulled apart for air
I saw the trust in his eyes, the longing and sadness
I knew it was time for him to leave for war
When he left
Everyday I’d sit by the window, waiting for his return
Praying for his call
But nothing happened.
After the war
They came to me
Told me he went missing in action
I was torn between hoping for his arrival
And mourning his loss.
I waited
Held on the memories we created
Reminiscing the last night we kissed.
But the soldier never came back
I told myself never will a soldier go to war with my heart
