It was a chilly night before another battle, 
And all I see is the open ground from here. 
As I go to fix my horse’s saddle, 
I realize that I actually fear. 

No one realizes the hardships of a soldier, 
What they have to go through in order to survive.
I need someone to rest my head on their shoulder,
As I don’t know how long I’ll be alive. 

I have never expressed my feelings previously, 
But before the words go away, I want to say it. 
I want to say that I love my family. 
Especially you, as you were my best fit. 

In this war, if I don’t come back, 
In this war, if I die, 
Remember to always smile like a lilac. 
And please, for me, please don’t cry. 

I have always wanted to stay, 
But I guess my time has come. 
And in this war today, 
I think that I’m the next victim. 

But don’t you worry, I have always loved you. 
And throughout this journey of life, 
I will never forget the times you were with me.
You will always be the number one wife. 

But now, as I look at this view, 
I have no choice, but to continue. 
I hope I am not in complete rue, 
As I have decided to not leave midway. 

Now that you’ll be free, 
I hope you never forget me. 
As today my day has come, 
And I am leaving you, all lonely.
