For Jon

You promised you'd write
You promised you'd call
You promised you'd come back
You promised you wouldn't disappear

You never wrote
You never called
You never came back
You disappeared

I wrote everyday
In hopes that you would
I prayed every night
In hopes that you'd be home faster

You told me you were invincible
You told me not to worry
You told me lies

It worried me that you felt invincible
I knew you'd be reckless after that
Although I pleased with you not to go
Your duty to your country outweighed my reasons

Please come back Jon
