Leaving a void in my heart,
There you went!

I could see your numb feet moving away from me, 
You were sulking like a child on the inside,
Whose tous haven't been bought.
I could see those tears.
But...
Leaving me alone,
There you went.

Your going away was not a waste,
After all,  the LOVE for our country,
I know.

And today when I stand beside your grave,
I am proud,
More proud than any woman on this earth.

I loath myself for feeling you left me,
Because you never left me.
You are with me ,
Like the oxygen surrounding me,
Enabling me to live.

You never left,
You never went away,
You left a mark.
A mark I will carry with me for the next 
Six months in my womb,

I don't know if it will leave me like you did or not,
But I will raise it like you would have done.

I will love it like you loved your country,
I will kiss it like the flag kissed your body,
I will hug it like you hugged your death.

Not that you won't be missed ,
But it won't be in a sad manner,
I will miss those moments 
We made together with a big smile on my face.

I will miss how the last time 
You left ,
You said that " Love is Eternal".
I didn't understand it then,
But now I do.

And there you went!
Taking a part of me 
And giving me a part of yours. ❤

— The End —
