....and you never came back

waiting for someone that may never come back.

Tears ran down my face as I watched you leave.

 I waved my last goodbye, to you

 You'll be off to war

 while I'm waiting for the day

 I hear your voice, call my name

 I want you here, with me 

 But, I know your comrades, need you too

 You said, that you'll be gone for six months

 That seems too long, but I'll try to cope.

 On the day, you come back, I will be joyful, to see you

 It has been 5 months, now

 I can't wait to see you, with your warm grin and happy eyes

 Your open arms and welcoming hugs

 Some time had passed and you're still not here.

 It had been six months now, and I'm wishing for you to come home

 I've been waiting at the airport, every day

 ...And you never came back.

This is sad. Being in the military we have the easy part. We have each other and can focus on the missiong. Those we leave back home have the hard part. The not knowing, the fear, and the loneliness. You express that so well.
