SOMETIMES
Sometimes it's hard to be happy
When I think of you so far away
Sometimes it feels like I miss you more
Than just twenty-four hours a day
Sometimes it feels like movement
Stops and waits with me for a while
Sometimes I think of you with a tear
Others I see you and smile
Sometimes I curse those greater
Who give orders they don't take
Sometimes I think you're with me
But you're not when I awake
Sometimes I find it hard
To be proud that you are over there
Sometimes I hate myself
That you not being here's my only care
Sometimes I worry constantly
That something will go wrong
Sometimes I have to remind myself
That you are very strong
Sometimes I think it would be easier
If I'd told you not to go
But then I stop and I'm incredibly proud
To love the man I know.
