I know that I'm gone
And promised I'd be strong
But if I didnt miss you this much
Then I know I'd be wrong
I love you through thick and thin
Although our love is some what new
But as long as I'm alive
I know I'll always stay true
I know that I am gone
And it seems like far too long
'Til I'm home again in your arms
But I promise I'll be strong
James Elston
