"And you say that..."
And you say that everything stays the same.
That one day you'll be back here with me and our daughter.
you say that there's nothing to keep you there. It's only a war.
If there wouldn't be a war, you wouldn't be there and you would've never
met the people you have met. But there is a war and you are there and you
did meet the people you met. One person in particular. One person that's
changing your life. Every single bit of it, without even realising that he's doing
it.
I read it in your lettres. You mention him more and more in every lettre. The
first few lettres it was just "one of the guys that share the swamp" then it
changed to "Hawkeye" but mostly it's just "Hawk" now. The last lettre had
his name 50 times. I counted.
He's the most important thing in your life right now. Even if you do say that I
am. That Erin is. I know better.
When it ends, and it will, you'll come back here. because that's the way it's
supposed to be. You'll pretend to be happy to be here. But you won't be.
In your mind you'll always be in the Swamp. And Hawkeye'll always be
around.
