Missing Pilot
out soon
Europa IV – The Long Night Goodbye
Nick Armbrister and Andy N
Missing Pilot
The girl was very nice
She had a little daughter
And was married
But that was fine
She was open minded
And liked other guys
And some gals too
I knew she liked me
No introductions were needed
We got together inside the hangars
By the sleeping planes
We did a different type of sleeping
Taking our time for it mattered
Our love was there without words
Leaving only memories known to us
I’ll keep her name secret
And just exactly what we did
But know this and know it well
She made my journey easier
For if I never came back
At least she would remember me
And always love me
Even if she belonged to another
He did not even figure
In what we did or were
We kissed before I climbed the ladder
Of my Lockheed P-38 Lightning
She was there to see me off
When I arrived in theatre
I’d name my plane after her
If I died in foreign skies
I now had a real reason
Other than for ‘freedom’...
