He was the one I looked up to
I always wanted to grow up to be like him
He was my friend....
He was my brother....
When we were young we always played together
No matter what he never left my side
And I never left his....
As we grew older, things changed....
We grew apart....
He was always gone, and we never talked
When he was home, we always fought
He told me "Don't make a promise you cant keep"
And the day he left, I told him the same
And as I stand here,
I still hear the words, "I'll come home safe....I promise"
A forgotten promise.....
From an unforgotten memory....
