I Understand

Today passed dreary,
tomorrow will pass the same,
but I won't say that anyways.

Our hearts are miles apart,
the distance always felt,
but I won't tell you that anyways.

You promised me you'd come back,
and though my heart aches,
I understand.

I pray for you night and day,
I pray that you won't die,
But I'd never tell you that anyways.

I don't want you to worry,
or fear,
for me.

I say I'm fine when you call,
I tell you I keep busy,
But really I am crying,
But I'd never tell you that anyways.

You're always on my mind,
not a day goes by that I don't remember,
But you promised you'd come back,
and I understand.

I understand that you can't promise that,
I will understand if you can't keep it,
So I pray night and day,
that you'll return,
But I understand if you can't.


The author's comments:
To let the one you love go is tough. It feels sometimes no one understands. Their questions feel insensitive when they ask if you are worried they will die. Yes, we worry.
And here is my worry.
