LEFT SOMETHING BEHIND

Hand in hand they walked along the South Bank
Some people eating food while other people drank
The Thames was flowing with it so much to see 
Blue sky background made it pretty as pretty can be 

They stopped for a while along the Embankment pier
That's where he kissed her and trembled with fear
For tomorrow he would be the army's newest recruit 
Battle uniform provided in exchange for his suit 

She brushed his cheek and tried her best not to cry
Didn't think of the consequences that he might die
They resumed their walk with so much unsaid 
Who knows what things for them lay ahead 

Soldier boy would leave then his sweetheart behind 
This London walk would remain in his mind 
For her she would count the days of his return 
No doubt with worry and so much concern
