in preparation for war

I belong here
In this cruel world we call home
Alone
With no one to share laughs
Or smiles
Just my thoughts and my dreams of you
As if they don’t already consume my mind enough
Playing back your voice
Pretending we are
But we won’t
Again I visualize your face
And I try to forget what they say
Because we don’t need to be rushed
Time is of the essence
But we can’t waste our precious time
