She had to do it

For the best

Take the burden

As her own

She promised them

That she'd be back

Real soon

Look into her eyes

Trying not to cry

He's stifling

His urge to hug her

One last time

Could be the last

He sees of her

Hoping it's only

For a while

Hold his hand

She's secretly

Scared to go

But she can't show

No fear, be brave

For them all

And praying out

Her heart that

She'll be back

Real soon
