The day you left

It was unbearable to watch
As you waved from the window
You slipped away from me
And I was unable to save you
I waited there after you left
Hoping you might return
It's been so long since that day
And you still haven't returned
I've waited everyday
Sitting on that single bench
Watching others come and go
But never you
I've been hoping, praying you might return
But you still haven't come back
War has been cruel to us all
But none more so than I
Constantly looking at the same spot
Watching fighters return to their wives
But never you
