"I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home" This line made me think about war. A lot of people, when they go to war, they think, ' People die, but surely I won't'

"You’re not the only one who needed me I thought you understood" If she was in the war, the country would need her, not just Ruby.

"I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone" The 'they' I think, would be other soilders from the war coming to tell Ruby the bad news.

I also think there is a possibility that Ruby's mother is still alive. Maybe they think she's dead and she's really just MIA. Wouldn't that make a good plot twist?
