Soldiers Don'T Cry Poem by Connie Tallada

He hugged me tight and kissed me tenderly
He dragged me close and held me silently
He smiled at me then he looked away
He seemed so sad but he never cried

He held my hand and vade me goodbye
He looked into my eyes and walked away without a sigh
He turned his head and glanced at me for the last time
He waved his hand but he never cried

He called me while he's waiting for the plane to take off
I was almost breaking while mesmerizing his soft voice
He told me not to cry because he would be fine
He told me to wipe my tears away but he never cried

We bestowed our last words and sweet goodbyes
He assured me that everything would be alright
I looked up the sky and saw the plane flew by
He turned his phone off but he never cried

He always tell me how hard it is to be away
That life without me is ungood and gloomy
But he assured me that he will be okay
He tells me how much he misses me.But he never cried

He always tells me how lonely it is
That living away from me is a mess
In sadness he could never get rid
He tells me, he's sad but he never cried

We use to reminisce our laughters and nasty talks
About how I giggled in his every corny jokes
And how I pouted when he crackled my nose
He said he misses it all. But he never cried

When night comes and I couldn't stand the sadness
I cry to him and confide my loneliness
He comforts me and talk to me softly
He hears me cry. But he never cried

He always tell me how he wanted to be home
That he has no other wish but to go home soon
To hug me tight, to kiss me again and to hold me close
I know he's longing for me badly.But he never cried

Life has not been easy since the day he leave
I stare at my phone from morning until nightfall
I wish every second that he might be able to call
A haphazard talk makes my heart pumps with joy

In the midst of emptiness he showed no tears
Though I know the pains that he bears
I guess I don't need to ask him why
He's a soldier and soldiers don't cry
