A Soldiers Love

(11/1/11) He found out that his division was being shipped away To a war zone where he would stay. He did not want her to go thru the agony Of whether he would come home or not. This was the thought that he had got. So he told her that he did not love her any more. But she saw that his voice said one thing and his eyes said another. So here she sat at her window with tears in her eyes Wondering how could he have lied. She found out though that I was being shipped overseas And said that she would wait for me. I closed my eyes and all that I could see Was the beauty of her company. Every moment that was given to me was heaven sent It was time which was lent Borrowed time so that I could see Just how much she meant to me. Words could not express the feelings that arose As she touched my heart, my mind , my inner soul. She set my wandering spirit free So true love I could see. To feel and find love , no matter how short it may be Is to live in ecstasy and with you is where I want to be. You have given me the strength to face each And every day, and to deal with everything, come what may. This here is a soldiers love, which will live forever Like the stars above.
