Loving can hurt sometimes,
Well they didn't seem to remember it,
For him she was like the ringing of the church bell chimes,
But it was his love for her which he feared to admit.

It wasn't his fault After all,
He took the responsibility of millions on his shoulders,
He always needed to be prepared for the nation's call
Being held at enemy lines shooting across rocky boulders.

She also did love him,
While he was away secretly, she would pray.
So that the candles of their love would never dim
And her bonny sweetheart not paying the debt that all men pay.

He would always keep her photograph, as gleaming at it gave him relief,

If not in this lifetime, still in eternity they would meet,

Still on meeting each other once again both held their belief.

They both loved each other so much that, even being far away they could listen to each other's heart beat.

A bullet pierced his heart,
Though a thousand miles apart,
Still she could feel it,
"Something is wrong " she exclaimed as tears rolled out of her smooth eyes which were shiny as her face was moonlit.

Miraculously, He survived,
A courageous soul was revived,
The news about her love she still couldn't derive.
As several days were passing by and still he didn't arrive.

She went to the airport in a hope of him returning,
After seeing him she felt so enriching.
He still couldn't believe his eyes that he was able to see her face while he was still breathing,

While it was the end of the war for the whole world,
For them it was just the beginning.
