A Soldier's Goodbye

A soldier’s goodbye I take thy last breath With it I bid thee farewell, Into the night I shall depart Away I will go to explore the vast lands of the unknown. Take thy last breath as a remembrance of thy existence in your perfect life, I will depart from your arms From your love and sympathy. Wipe away the tear that fell upon your cheek It takes away the gleam in your eyes, Don’t cry my dear, Don’t look at the ground Look into my eyes Kiss thy lips Bid farewell. Do not fret My love will never fade for you The key to my heart will always belong to you, Let no one take that from you. I must depart now my love, Kiss me One last time, Keep me in your heart And prayers, For I may not return Not by choice, But by force. The gunpowder will wisp through the air And I will stand for you, My love, I will give you this, My life. Do not worry As I die I will whisper these last words, “ I love you.” I will slowly parish with a smile upon my face, Knowing that I still have your love. My soul will watch over you, My heart will always belong to you You’re my life, Darling, Kiss me before I depart. Your lips are still so sweet Your eyes are as beautiful as the day I met you. I must now depart to new vast lands of danger, But …one last kiss, My heart is broken by the sight of this departure, Keep my heart safe darling. One last question my love, Will you marry me?
