Missing You

For a very close friend of mine who left me to join the military... and never made it back.

You left just a quick goodbye,
Not even a, "See you soon."
You promised you'd be back for me
As you walked toward your platoon.

 

You never tried to call me,
You never even cried.
You never reassured me that
In you I can still confide.

 

So now you've left me crying out
To not leave me again.
Yet you turn around and walked away.
I miss you now, my friend.
