The Cadet Part 1

she's crying and very upset, i was drafted in the army as a cadet, i told her i'll be ok and it will be alright, she says how can i sleep without you in the night, i told her i leave at dawn, she tries to hide my uniform, she's hurting, crying and dying inside, i told her i'd never leave i guess i lied, im sorry just trust me, have faith, and when i come back you'll be my bride, she said dont say that its only going to hurt more, if you die a broken heart is like a disease and only true love is the cure, i kissed her, hugged her and made funny faces, she said this is why its so hard if you go no one can replace this, i smiled then walked into the room got dressed in the uniform, i even practiced in the mirror how i would have my gun drawn, i took my suitcase and place it by the door, she said where are you going you dont leave until tomorrow, i said i know but i just want to be ready to go, i lied again i was leaving that very day and at that very moment my ride came, so i asked her could i have a piece of cake with a little whip cream, as she went into the kitchen i ran outside and as i was taken away, she ran after the truck crying, screaming at me through the window, i just kept my head straight as my tears started to flow...............................................
