FOR MYSELF TO SAVE

they say
it is better to have loved
and lost
so much better than
to have never loved at all

I have loved,
and I have lost
I made the choices
that pushed her away
I gave up on love
and I left a family behind
I chose to go to war

and when I got home
I did it over again

some think me brave
some even think of me with pride
little do they know
I went for my self to save

I went to Kosovo to hide

I will never know, I guess
if they are right
to say what they say
but in my heart I think
they’re wrong all the way
