I've Enlisted


Since I can't be with you -
I hope it's all right -
I've enlisted -
at least I can die for you.
For Kelly,
I love you.
Till death does me part.

I might have done
the dumbest thing ever
but you'll be safe;
hopefully forever.

if you've enlisted...I cannot say it would be the best thing to do but I am not here to throw doubt on your decisions..each man must be the author of his own destiny..stay well and keep in touch with your loved ones.

I hope  if you have enlisted you did it for the right reasons...and not to prove anything to anyone else but yourself.

I wish you the best if you did and success in all your choices.

Well that is a major decision...you won't be the first or the last that has enlisted for love or for the loss of a love...people enlist for many reasons...be strong...James
