Far away, in my heart

I knew this day would come

where we would say good-bye.

You whisper 'I love you'

I try so hard not to cry.

Promises do not mean a thing.

It will not bring you back here.

At this time of war and hate, 

the nightmares that I fear.

My days are spent wondering, 

if you are alright.

All the memories we shared, 

I hold them very tight.

I knew this day would come

where we would have to part.

You are so far away, 

but always in my heart.
