She waits for months
for a kiss or a touch.
She just wants to hold him.
Is that asking too much?
She sits and she cries
as her lover dies.
So cruel, this war.
So cruel.

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this when I found out that one of my friends was joining the military. I began to think what I would do if someone I loved joined the military and then I began to sympathize for those girlfriends/wives who have boyfriends/husbands in the military.
