Ah my love, my sweet, my precious one.
You know how much I adore you,
and keep you close as my own beating heart,
you're worth so much more to me than anyone
and that I wouldn't bare to have neither distance nor object,
keep us apart.

My sweet, my love, please do understand,
remember the vow when I took your hand?
Know that I'll keep it forever, even should death do us part,
for only you I trusted, with my beating heart.

Now love, I hope to remind you this, in hopes you'd understand,
I've a lost friend that needs my help,
in some desolate and war-torn land.
I know you think it foolish,
but to them I must go and find,
because I was taught and drilled,
never leave a friend behind.

My search, my fight, is all for you.
The sacrifices made by my friends,
are so damnably great,
that to ignore their cry for help,
would put all my years of friendship to waste.

Please do not cry,
as I leave the door,
please always know,
I am yours, forever, and forever more.

But pray, for me, as I go now,
for I must find my friends, some way some how.
Their safety I must assure,
if not the weight of their bodies,
that I will somberly endure.

I hope to find them, in some condition,
but at least alive,
I'm going in head first,
just watch me dive.

I thank you, for your understanding,
and support as you always did,
this was my burden to bare,
I'm sorry I reflected for so long,
so sorry that this secret I hid.

Don't worry love,
I won't be alone as I go,
because I'll always have you close to my heart,
because you and I, shall never truly be ever apart.

Now off, and away,
into the dusk, the night of the day.

Now off I sail,
off I fly,
to do.
Or die.

Off and away,
to come back to you
someday.
