When I saw you first
My heart beat wildly,
I whispered to it gently,
Patience, dear heart !
You walked in,
All tall and proud,
In your green uniform,
Stars agleam on your shoulder.
Your shy smile,
Your hidden heart,
Your lovely letters,
They became my life.
When I saw you last,
In that same uniform,
With more stars of valor,
My heart beat wildly, again,
Your face was bleak,
Your manner strained,
I wondered to myself,
If it was the last time.

I cheated. Yip I did it, I am not proud of it, but that won't change a thing. This is my story of me trying to survive one day at a time. No guarantees....
