before you go (what i didn't say)

[hippieinchains]

Let’s run away, so there would be no more goodbyes,
where there are no more wars to fight but out own silly battles
over who will take out the trash
and who won the last scrabble game.

Lets take our sheets and build a home.
You don’t have to give me a ring
Just wake up beside me and I’ll be fine.
If only you could take me with you.
A soldier’s life is sad
but two soldier’s lives are short lived
and lonely.
Take me with you

[Lorenzo]

And, dare I ask, did this brave soldado take your heed?

I can't help but feel a cold shiver down my spine after reading this.

Very emotional, very primal and deep. All at once.

we almost got married. in the relationship portion in tubag bohol, I refer to him as 'J'. feel free to read and i can tell you the stories you go along.

"A soldier’s life is sad
but two soldier’s lives are short lived"

these are the poem's powerful lines...

maybe, the ending would have been good if you put

JUST before "Take me with you"

wink!

Blatant and unmitigated plagiarism! That's Bay Bugsay's signature line!
