So you told me today
That you would be going away
I was scared and seechless what could I say
I was worried that I would never see you again like this was the last day
I sat here with my head in my hands thinking how I could talk you out of this
How could you do this to me how could you leave your little sis
I don't try to be mad at you but having the comfort of my brother I will surely miss
Tears of confusion roll down my cold face, we just lost mom last year I won't be able to deal with losing you
I am terrified and hopeless but I will support you no matter what you do
I don't feel like this is fair why does my brother have to go to the war
I can't grasp this feeling I don't want to believe this any more
Then I realize that it's not fair for anyone to go other peoples brothers are going just as well
Now matter how far away you are always look for my letters they should help you get out of that hell
If this world decides to take you away for good while you are over there
At least I can say you died fighting for your country and you are watching over me some where
So while you are over there I will watch over myself and beat off all the men
I will hope and wish each and every day that you will come home for me to see you again
