my last love

You will be my last love, darling
The one I remember with a smile
As night falls around me
When the guns become too loud
I listen for your voice
And I am not afraid
You will be my last love, darling
Keep my heart safe and shed no tears
I am with you always for eternity
As we promised before I left
And now find myself so far from you
It never stops raining or maybe the sun
Forgot where we are
Yesterday I found a flower growing by the roadside
I put it in my pocket to remind me of your garden
Will you forgive me, darling, if I tell you
I have killed men and I cry for them all
Why am I here?
You will be my last love, darling
I no longer know what the word means
Maybe it is best if I never return home
Then I won’t see the pain in your eyes
When you look at the man I have become
Promise you will never forget me
Then I will not die but stay alive
In your memories of our love
My precious one
