A few months had gone by
And I began to breathe a little easier
There were more bombings
But we weren't taken by surprise again
To say we were accustomed to them would be a bit of an exaggeration
I don't think anyone could ever truly get used to that
But we were aware of the possibility
And we knew how to react
His missions grew more and more dangerous
As we infiltrated deeper into enemy territory
He acquired a chest full of medals
And a reputation as being bullet proof
He said my love kept him safe from harm
I prayed constantly that it was so
