Missing

I deampt I was missing
From a world so cold
I knew you would miss me
I left you all alone
No longer kept safe
By the words I told

I know what I told you
I said I'd be here for you
But even though those words were true
I won't be here forever
One day it will be over

I dreampt I was missing
No longer pretending
No more saying I was okay
No longer keeping friends at bay

But don't worry about me
One day I'm not gonna be here
Everything will be okay
Don't cry for me
Please just see

Everything wasn't always perfect
Everything won't always be perfect
Just enjoy the time that we've got
Because then I won't be a memory forgotten
I know I wasn't always perfect
But I did my best for you.

Always stay strong for me
Always be as best as can be
Make sure everyone can see
What a soldier you grew up to be
And remember the person who taught you

Make sure you're a soldier
So no one can hurt you
Because that day when I'm not here
Everything is up to you
And I'm hoping things are better
For everyone, especially you.
