I wear this uniform with pride,
But I left my heart where you reside.
Each bullet’s echo whispers your name,
In war and peace, love feels the same.
If I could hold you, just once more—
I’d fight no battles, I’d need no war.
His voice is gone, his letters fade,
But in my heart, he still has stayed.
I smile like nothing’s ever wrong,
I laugh, I joke, I play along.
But deep inside where no one goes,
I miss you more
than anyone knows.
You moved on like it meant nothing new,
But I still smile when I think of you.
You forgot the love, the days, the song—
But I’ve been yours…
all along.
We were a story that almost came true,
A love so deep, yet never knew.
You held my hand, then walked away,
And I still wait…
for yesterday.
He smiled at death, then walked alone,
For every breath that’s not his own.
The flag now sleeps upon his chest —
A hero gone, a nation blessed.
You held my hand, taught me to stand,
With silent love, a guiding hand.
Now I look up, and call your name —
But stars just shine… they’re not the same.
