And he cried
Spilling out his tears
Spilling out his fears
It’ll be a long and trying time
“Haven’t you been overseas before”
His reply would break her heart
“I’ve never been afraid
        but now
I have something to lose”

And she cried
knowing what love is.

Thanks Jerry! I wasn’t sure if it needed more or if it was good just the way it is- I’m still not sure lol
I’ve always struggled with “happy writing” but I felt like I needed to write this- almost like it had to be written.

You haven't lost your touch. I think you ended it just fine with a whole lot of emotion just dangling there like a piñata.
To have spelled it all out would have lessened the impact. Ya done good kiddo! ~L

Knowing love is the most beautiful feeling..even under less than perfect circumstances.
