I can almost see the flashbacks, flash bangs in your eyes
I wonder what horrible thing it was, that set your beautiful "blue" eyes ablaze
Yes, I know they're hazel
But I do love to see your nose wrinkle in frustration when I tease you
I see the squints of pain, that rock your body, when your trying to chase away the demons in your mind
What was powerful enough to shake your foundation soldier?
I don't mean to pry, it must be hard to dredge up memories you've tried to bury with lead
I just want to be there when peace decides to make its presence known in your home again
I salute the southern hospitality that didn't seem to fade away with weeks of war
And wonder what it must be like to be a person, battling with insecurities and nightmares in silence, so everyone else can sleep in peace
Your warriors Aura captured my attention at first glance, and I've been trying to figure you out since
There's something to be said about a soldier with standards,
About a man with a desire to conquer
And to many morals to take advantage
I've never met anyone like you before
Never had to say goodbye to anyone like you before
I thank you for your service, I thank you for your smile, I thank you for invading my heart, taking my judgment prisoner for a while
I thank you for giving me the peace of mind, of knowing there's a soldier out there somewhere, that carries my passion on his lips
And I want to thank you by letting you know, that when night falls, a  girl is laying on her pillow miles and miles away
In a t-shirt that touches her heart
and she is thinking about your "blue" eyes ablaze, and is hoping that the thought of her might keep them burning for just a little while longer
