love, me

Love me by Collin raye

I read a note my grandma wrote
Back in 1923
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
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 the church
When me and grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry
All my 15 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 cant help tearing whenever i heard the song.
How many of us have the good fortune to held your loved ones closed in your arms for as long as you lived?
And how many of us only regreted not treasuring after losing someone dear?

I can only treasured so much in my life now.
Its as if something went clear in my head.
Money and entertainment is secondary.
My family, my friends will be my priority in my life.

SO my dears, treasure your loved ones before your eyes.


Goodnight. :)
