I’m drunk and a wreck;
This is just a warning…
But I’m writing now anyway,
no matter how I’ll feel in the morning.

You’ll never love me
yet I'll always I love you.
It’s been years now,
But my heart remains true.

This is the second
time that you’ve left
And I want you to know
that today I wept.

I wept when my friend
told me his ex
enlisted in the army
and last month met her death.

21 years old,
the same age as you
and she met her demise
when a car bomb blew.

I’m so afraid for you,
and it kills me inside
to know that at war,
you might meet your demise.

I’m crying right now,
because I really do care…
Take care of yourself and
please be safe over there.

It's a fine line, how people feel about
such deeds...we are proud that our
loved ones give so much of themselves

and we fear for their safety, every moment.
