A Soldier's Goodbye
A soldier’s goodbye
I take thy last breath
With it I bid thee farewell,
Into the night I shall depart
Away I will go to explore the vast lands of the unknown.
Take thy last breath as a remembrance of thy existence in your perfect life,
I will depart from your arms
From your love and sympathy.
Wipe away the tear that fell upon your cheek
It takes away the gleam in your eyes,
Don’t cry my dear,
Don’t look at the ground
Look into my eyes
Kiss thy lips
Bid farewell.
Do not fret
My love will never fade for you
The key to my heart will always belong to you,
Let no one take that from you.
I must depart now my love,
Kiss me
One last time,
Keep me in your heart
And prayers,
For I may not return
Not by choice,
But by force.
The gunpowder will wisp through the air
And I will stand for you,
My love,
I will give you this,
My life.
Do not worry
As I die I will whisper these last words,
“ I love you.”
I will slowly parish with a smile upon my face,
Knowing that I still have your love.
My soul will watch over you,
My heart will always belong to you
You’re my life,
Darling,
Kiss me before I depart.
Your lips are still so sweet
Your eyes are as beautiful as the day I met you.
I must now depart to new vast lands of danger,
But …one last kiss,
My heart is broken by the sight of this departure,
Keep my heart safe darling.
One last question my love,
Will you marry me?
