Love, Me

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
 Darlin', wait and see
 And between now and then
 Until 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've 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
 Darlin', wait and see
 And between now and then
 Until I see you again
 I'll be loving you
 Love, me
 
 Between now and then
 Until I see you again
 I'll be loving you
 Love, me
