Every time you go away, my heartbreaks,
I know for you the same thing aches.
You walk into the sunset uncertain,
If you can fix those who have been hurting.
Your love is for more than just me,
Its for your country to one day be free.
The honor you’ve so graciously received,
I fear one day may be grieved.
I try to forget your inevitable leaving,
Lying close, your heart I hear beating.
You’re unselfish, kind and full of caring,
I’ll never forget the love we’ve been sharing.
Now, it’s time for you to go,
I kiss your face in the candle’s soft glow.
You whisper, “I love you, Good-bye,”
I can’t help but breakdown and cry.
As the door closes, I remember your face,
Knowing no matter where we are,
our hearts will always be in the same place.
