“Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.” - Dag Hammarskjold
Lessons Learned: There are things that are to be divulged only on a "Need to Know" bases.
I know why I can't hold him.
I understand why he doesn't call.
I understand why I can't call him.
I understand why there are no emails.
I knew far in advance the loneliness I would endure, yet I agreed.
But knowledge and understanding do not stop the heart from bleeding
nor do they comfort a soul split in two.
But I will not breath a word of this to him. These words of a heart cut in two remain here, locked. And only my pillow shall see my tears. And deep in the dark, I will keep a candle burnings, so that when my soldier returns, there will be a fire to weld us back together again. And I will go on. And somewhere, on the other side of the world, I know my soldier does the same.
