love,me
by:Collin Raye
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. he said,
"boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but i loved your grandma so."

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, i found this letter, and this is what it said:

If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long i'll be.
But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till i see you again,
I'll be loving you. love, me.

I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray.
I know i'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.

If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long i'll be.
But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till i see you again,
I'll be loving you. love, me.
Between now and then, till i see you again,
I'll be loving you. love, me



i'm really touched by this song and almost cried when i heard the love between the couple is so strong...today,when i'm taking mrt to novena,i saw an old couple,both have white hair and is appoximately 70+ yet,i see them walking,hand in hand.when i saw this,i purposely made a detour and walked a longer route just to see them.its really sweet when you see the old man holding on to his wife.I think they may be going to the hospital.Well as usually,my granny popped up from my mind again and i do really wish that she's still around :) but ofcourse,life is never what we can expect it to be.bt just remember treasure whoever is around you.i have learnt my lesson..i hope you will too, without experiencing it.. :)
