I watched him sail away into the dawn.
I didn't want to believe it, but I knew he was gone.
The moment he stepped one foot out the door,
I ran outside and watched from the shore.
He said he'd be back, that was one year ago.
Time goes so fast, yet it seems so slow.
I woke up this morning and saw his sweet face.
I jumped out of bed as I felt my heart race.
The next thing I knew, I was crying in his arms.
I asked him why it had taken him so long.
He said he was at sea, and a war broke out.
The bombs were flying as the ship tossed about.
The memory was too harsh to repeat.
So he gave me a kiss that swept me off my feet.
He promised he would never leave me again.
His promise stayed true, this story I must end. |
