;; i didnt want it to end this way

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 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."

title: unknown unto YOU
by: ME

As i lay and put myself to sleep
i think of how you came
and went and touched me
like a whisper from the wind

In my subconscious dreams
i cry my tears dry
though you'll never understand why
hugging my pillow, you were there
just you and me
but i know,

*chorus:
that was a lie i live with everyday
since the day you walked away
i see the smile in my face
your happiness becomes my pain
where were you when i needed you?
i know, its gone and never will come back
like a whisper from the wind*

i grow and learn from experience
helpless, but i put on a smile
i want you to know i'll live life happy
while you go on, as happy as a child
now just you and her
but i know,

*chorus*

now i appreciate the beauty of love
reminiscence, sweet
happiness, a lie

with the last touch of the whisper from the wind
i will, rest
in peace.

dated: the day you walked away(:
