A Lifetime Loss

The Friend that I adore, with whom i took an eternal oath Always there for me and I for him despite the rough road Walking together, two bodies but one soul, Enjoying the blessing of having one another Seeing others envy of our unbreakable bond Realizing it is something we should be grateful of But, time was soaring around to give us another role A role, where I and my friend to play alone Not like the good old days everywhere together My friend got a state call to defend for us all Standing in the boarder for me and others like me To have a good night sleep and stand tall Counting the days for my friend to come back home Becoming the habit that I love most, living my day Holding my breath, fear of hearing a bad tone Weeks replaced months, months replaced years One silent morning started with a knock from my door Walking with a trembling heart not sure if it was a fear or anger A letter from my friend submitted by a stranger Impatient that I became to see “soon I will be home” But, it was a farewell letter to take away my last hope It was then the guest told me that it was written in the last moment In the moment of life and death rushing to say “I will always be with you” A letter soaked with his blood, packed with his love telling me to be the strongest person alive!
