When you're not here
I miss you so
This terrible war is
Going so slow





You thought for long
It wouldn't last
And hopefully you
Would soon be back





I watch the news
On the TV
Thinking that maybe
You I will see





I wish you were here
For me to touch
Then maybe I wouldn't
Worry so much





Although we're miles apart
Really we're not
As you're always here
Deep in my heart





I pray that you stay
Out of harms way
For your return
I want for that day
