WAITING

I remember his smell
his smile
his kisses
How my name he hisses

His touch
His laugh
I remember
As though he never left

He comes
He leaves
He doesn't want to
Who wants to love and leave?
But he has to

I cry
I try not to
But I do...
Because he has to leave

He didn't know I would come along
He didn't plan on falling
So he swore his life to another
And I must learn to share

He dresses up
In camo and in boots
He refuses to look up
Lest he sees the tears welling up in my eyes

He chose her first
And she demands a lot
Sending him to lands far far away
And I must learn the art of kissing goodbye
And of waiting and waiting.

So I wait
With bated breath I WAIT!
I watch for the news
And wait for news

I wait...
And I WAIT
I wait for calls and for mails
I wait for my man's first love to have her share
So I WAIT

I wait
I wait for another first kiss
I wait for another hug
And I wait for another goodbye


They say I am strong cos I wait
But I really am not
I only have to DO it
Cos I fell in love with a man
Whose first love is called THE ARMY
And this army calls all the shots

They say I'M STRONG
But I really am not
I just know a little secret
The army may have my man
But I most definitely have his HEART


You all who say I'm crazy for waiting
Just don't know the thrill
Of never losing the magic of another first kiss
And of feeling the butterflies flutter in your stomach again
When your hero holds you in his arms again

They say you have never felt true pain till you have watched the man you love leave..... Damn me for loving a soldier and loving him to bits!
