My Soldier

As the cool ocean water brushes at my feet,
My mind wanders back to me and you.
I miss you and how you were so sweet,
And why I had to lose you, I'll never know.

I can still hear your gentle voice,
Whispering in my ear.
Leaving me, I know, wasn't your choice,
But I just wish you were here.

Today, tomorrow, and forever more,
You'll always be in my heart.
As I walk along the Atlantic shore,
It doesn't matter how far apart.

Maybe I'll see your face in the stars tonight,
We used to watch them together.
In each others' arms, under the moonlight,
Knowing our love will last forever.
