It Won’t Be Long

I watched you as you rode of on your bike,
In the quiet early hours of the day,
You made me promise not to worry,
While you were gone away.

I told you that I’d be okay,
I’d sleep and get some rest,
You gave me that look that told me,
I think you knew best.

You said I hate to leave you again,
I know alone you don’t do well,
I promised I’d be okay,
I didn’t say I’d go through hell.

It’s only for sixteen days,
That I’ll be here all alone,
I’ll not think of you once,
Before I know it you’ll be home.

I want you to be happy,
Don’t let that Harley collect dust,
Don’t let it just sit there,
You know it could possibly rust.

I’ll have to grow up one day,
It may as well be this time of year,
I have to spend so much time alone,
I’ll have to get over my fear.

It won’t be long before you’re back,
In to my arms once more,
I’ll be there to welcome you dear,
When you come through that door.
