Love, Me
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.
