Another Casualty Of War

About my boyfriend who broke up with me and broke my heart because he is going into the marines…
You're leaving soon
Going so far away
You don't know when you'll return
So that why
It has to be this way
You don't want me to get hurt
You said this is hard for you too
And don't think that you don't care
But you can't leave another loved one behind
But I’m alone here this summer
What do I do?
How do I keep you off my mind?
But you still say
Even though it's tough
We have to shut the door
So I’m left here crying
All by myself
Another casualty of war
