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 love 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
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
Til 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 the church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her, his eyes fill 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
Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me."
By Collin Raye- Love Me
I remember vividly. I was still in school and was studying at Macers in Bishan and you texting me. We made this phone call and in the background, we were both amused that the 2 different radio channels were playing the same song! I think you could tell I really wanted to see you and all those beautiful features which make so many lovely expressions. We weren't together yet...but when you sang me this song ...i knew, you too, wanted to see me. Just as much as i did. I remember we used to have such busy schedules that we'd make plans to meet each other, no matter how late it was. Haha... it was really sweet.... So this too, just like grandma and grandpa, this is OUR song.
I never once had a fleeting thought, that when i'm with you, and feeling all that i have with you , that this story would have eventually described us so well... except that when i reached the tree where we were supposed to meet... there was no note left for me.
I would like to find that note in my pocket 66 years from now and tell the story...... but it's sad now, that i have no letter... and all i find, are washed out beads of tissue which were left in my coat, from wiping my eyes filled with tears......
