I can still feel his arms around me.
I can still feel his kiss.
I can't believe he's gone now.
Leaving me like this.
I can still remember,
How he made me smile.
Just last December,
He promised never to let me cry.
Why did he go like this?
Why didn't he say goodbye?
Why did he leave forever,
And leave me behind.
His words soft and comforting,
Never let me down.
His eyes warm and loving,
Always warmed my soul.
His smile, open and true,
Made my heart go wild.
I can still picture him beside me,
Like many months before.
He told me he had to do his duty.
His duty to the world.
He said people looked up to him
And he couldn't let them down.
In the middle of the night he left,
Silent. Without a word.
Maybe if he'd told me,
The pain wouldn't hurt so much.
I'm not the only one like this.
There are many other's like me.
Whose men had left for the war,
Bravely without complaint.
Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori
Are the word that ring in my head.
You can call me selfish but,
I didn't want him to go.
All I can do now is hope,
For the very best,
For the day he comes back to me,
To hold me in his arms again.
He promised that he'll return,
Safely and whole and
The threat that faces us
Will be dead and gone.
