Letting Go

When we say goodbye I start to cry
Knowing that all your hopes and dreams may die
You wanted more for your family
You wanted more for me
All the memories seem so far away
I just want to go back to those days
My love for you will never die
No matter how much I cry
Although your body is gone
Your spirit will always live on
So many days we were apart
But i knew from the start
That you and I
Would have say goodbye
I cry to God Why
And then I just cry
Because I know it is true
You are one of the few
Who served your country true
The flag we hold is for you
Because you stayed so true
Freedom is what you stood for
But to me it was so much more
I hope to serve as well as you
Because I am one of the select few
We will meet again
Goodbye my friend
