That dark night he couldn’t sleep
And I knew he was muttering something too deep.
Alarm rang at six,
I picked my heart up to fix.
I went to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast
And saw him staring his son after an hour past.
His train was at nine
And he whispered, “Darling, stay fine”.
We went for the station
And saw thousands of soldiers going to save their nation.
Sorrows were all around,
I saw tears falling on the ground.
Five minutes to go nine,
He went to take his seat in a line.
He held my hand through the window
And said, “If I didn’t return back,
Tell our son his dad loved him beyond imagination 
And died in the battlefield for our nation”.
He kissed me
And gave me a strange smile,
As he knew he was going far away in just a while.
Nothing was an amiss,
But I knew that was the last kiss.
