The time for goodbye had come so soon Standing by the door that afternoon Tears frozen like pearls in her sapphire blue eyes Even her heartwarming smile couldn't disguise The agony that lay embedded within her crystal clear tears Despite all efforts, she couldn't conceal her deepest fears She knew this could be the last time she hugged him so close She didn't blame fate, she just blamed the life he chose Nothing could grant her solace as he had to depart Love gave her hope but yet it tore her apart What killed her was the thought of him being in a strafe She tied a charm on his arm and told him please stay safe She wished one day this bloodshed, this warfare would cease War granted the country honour, but it robbed her of her peace Kissed him goodbye, into the distance his shadow swirled She whispered my prayers will follow you to the end of the world
