When you chose your path and I chose to stand with you
\nWe knew the day would come, when we would part
\nYou are leaving, to protect our country
\nAnd I am here, waiting for your return<\/p>\n
I cannot talk to you, when I wish
\nYou cannot touch me, when you wish
\nThe parting was sweet, a hug so tight
\nThe air around us, understood our plight<\/p>\n
It has been ages, since I last heard your voice
\nThe network was weak, and words were so feeble
\nMy feelings are on the surface, ready to burst
\nThe music, my solace till date, no longer suffices<\/p>\n
The notebook and pen you gave me, are now my best friends
\nI fill the blank pages, replacing my emotions with words
\nI no longer wander lost, seeking comfort in the air
\nI always carry my notebook, knowing I can express at will<\/p>\n
We are soul mates, tested by time, as we are apart
\nLiving the journey, that life has carved for us
\nMy words may not reach you and I know not of your struggles
\nYet, this notebook captures each moment that is significant <\/p>\n
