Pain In Love-Song

 Pain In Love

 

The bullet that pierced my body

Did pain me, but not so painfully

As the words spoken by the one I love.

 

The wounds from battle healed,

But not the wounds in my heart

From the fight with my beloved.

 

Guarding the borders with sleepless nights

Was a pride,

But guarding love with sleepless nights

Was a pain.

 

A ceasefire on the battlefield was possible,

But a ceasefire in the love field

Was closer to impossible—

Where the battle never ends,

And the love war continues.

 

The soldier on the other side is an enemy by default,

But enmity in love is a personal choice.

 

Waiting for leave from the battlefield

Is a peaceful pain,

But waiting to meet a lover after a long pain

Is brutal—

The brutality worse than any missile fired.

 

Taking a command from an officer

Is a relationship between an officer and a gentleman,

But taking commands from a lover

Instead of love and care

Is a battle of self-esteem lost within.

 

Living with crisis and killer instinct

Is a way of life on the battlefield,

But living with the crisis of love and care from a beloved

Is like being willing to die on the battlefield

From unbearable pain.

 

I am a soldier—

Born to kill enemies,

Living to love my nation.

All that is needed is a smile, love, and care

Upon returning home.

 

Let civilian life not be a mental battleground.

Let us learn to live for each other,

So that I can die with pride for the nation

And for those who love me—

With acceptance to miss a person,

And to live as a martyr forever.
