As I stand my post all through the night,  
I think to myself about our very first fight. 
As I crawl through the sand,  
I think of when I get to hold your hand. 
As I fire my weapon down range,  
I think that I love to see you change. 
As I march all through the day,  
I think of all the things you love to say. 
As I fight the enemy on the battlefeild,  
I think how our love refuses to yeild. 
As I duck behind trees for cover,  
I think that you are the greatest lover. 
As I clean the bay to make it look good,  
I think that you are here where you should. 
As I stab the enemy in the chest,  
I think how much that you are the best. 
As I get up before the morning sun,  
I think no wait, I know that you are the one. 
And as I die with no one around,  
I know you'll hear the whisper of my sound.
