I Won't Cry
I understand
You can be called
To action
At any time
But I won't cry
I know
You can leave
On a moments
Notice
But I won't cry
Phone calls
Can be limited,
Missed,
Or dropped
Before a goodbye
But I won't cry
I could be
Holding you
One moment
And letting go
the next
But I won't cry
I accept
That you volunteered
To put your life
On the line
But I won't cry
I will store
In my memory
All the time
We spend together
I will hold you
In my heart
Where you will live
Forever
I will be strong
And wear
A brave face
But I won't cry
Wait...
To late...
I lied...
Cause tonight,
I cried.
