Night they hope for miracles
to prevent what waits tomorrow
from bringing the day neither wanted.
Love's encounter still holding their heart
eve's spent exploring it's treasures
never wanting anything to end
the magic both found in the other's arms.
How they tried so hard to forget
during they day he wore military green
and though he spoke of risk from duty
how they both lost its memory in intimacy's amnesia.
Then envelope came with orders
tomorrow he'll take the journey to where death lingers.
Her mind still goes back to that last time they had together
while re-reading the letter expressing regrets over his death,
now spending each night in arms of his ghost.
