I once knew a guy
He always spoke of going to war and I never thought he would
live up to it
Years later he disappeared from my social contacts and moved
into the ways of the army.
Years later he sent me an email saying good bye and i
didn't know why
He was so close to me because he was brother. i got him his
first job, i grew up with
with him. i got him the girl friend that he loved for all
eternity but she never realised.
But the news arrived yesterday
I remember the day so very well
The smallest detail I can tell
I remember how my mother cried
I remember how I felt he lied
I remember how my sister wept
And many nights passed unslept
I remember how my brother was mad
I remember how my father was sad
But never even said I word
Because of that horrible news we heard
His body was never found
It’s lying somewhere on the ground
I remember his warm smile
And it makes me happy for a while
Them I remember it’s gone forever
The smile that was so clever
We made a grave for him
Under a tree where the light is dim
On the stone it said, ‘loving friend,
Who fought for his country until the end’
Every memory I will save
I’ll lie 60 roses on his grave.
