PainfullyTryingSheDecided
When I joined, they said: "The hardest part of this job will be taking another's life."
How about watching her walk away, the one who was supposed to be my wife?
In basic training they said: "The hardest part of this job will be all the danger."
How about watching a lover, turn into a stranger?
On patrol they said: "The hardest part of the job will be staying awake through the night."
It wasn't hard at all, when she told me it wasn't right.
"The hardest part of the job will be pushing through."
No sir, it's knowing that there's nothing you can do.
When it's not you.
"The worst part of all this is knowing that their dead."
I'd take that, over the thought of her in another's bed.
"The hardest part will be maintaining traction!"
Loving at full capacity, but only receiving a fraction?
Trying to fix something
you
didn't break?
Failing and and becoming someone else's
