I really like the idea of this. A couple of suggestions - just my opinion - and I do mean to be helpful. First stanza, consider "war is not predictable". You use the word believe twice (fourth and last stanzas). Consider replacing "she believed it" with "she was sure" to avoid that. My biggest question, or maybe suggestion is with the final stanza. In using the phrase "because she needed him to complete her dream", you have effectively transferred the guilt for feeling bad about the situation to the woman. She ends up seeming silly for waiting and dreaming. If that is what you intended, maybe ironically, then ok. But if it isn't then maybe consider an alternative ending. Whether you change it or not, well done.
Another winner! After a while there have to be doubts. We shall see.
