A friend asked me why,

Why do you grieve about her? 

Why after all this time?

And I replied, full of surprise,

Why wouldn’t I?

We had fought

In a war together,

Reached impossible goals,

Why wouldn’t I grieve?

Somebody came 

To help me face

The darkest night

Of my soul.

Why wouldn’t I grieve?

She wiped away

the tears 

From my eyes

When I thought

My heart

Would break.

Why wouldn’t I grieve?.

She knew the fears,

I carried inside.

She accepted me

With my wounded pride,

And all the memories

I could not hide.

Why wouldn’t I grieve?
