Had you waited just a few more days
I would have run to your arms
but you gave up, you let the chains go
Remember when you told me you were my slave?
I was so scared, i had never had someone like you
someone who would fight for my every kiss
but I was terrified, I was barely a woman
You left and became a Warrior,
I was older, wiser, but taken
and I saw your heart slowly breaking,
but I wouldn't do anything about it
then you married her and went to war
and my heart is calling
across the worlds, across eternity
but you aren't listening, you cant hear me
and so i cry, and worry
worry that life will pass me by,
or a bullet will strike you down.
All we will have together was one kiss,
one moment where time stood still
its gone but i would give anything to have it back
if i could change the past i would
but thats impossible and now i am alone.
Author notes
this is to a man who loved me and i loved, but we never had a chance, i was always taken, or he was gone and now hes married and in Iraq, and i am afraid, afraid of the day when they send a folded flag home, and they bury him. i am also afraid that there wont be a second chance. fear is never a good thing to serve with love. I'm sorry JJC.
