I saw you coming
like a ship on the horizon.
I saw you running,
running to my arms.
If I had to make
just one wish,
I would let you break
my barriers.
I have a shield
which will protect us both,
but the war has not begun.
Thus is the fate
of the soldier's paramour.
If it is lost
on hallowed ground,
so be it.
I am with you.
I will try to lift you up,
but you don't know
how hard it will be
when I cannot even lift myself.
So I look out my window;
I see you,
and I fall again.
