love, me

Ron always left me notes here and there and always signed them love, me. In 2006 when he left to go hunting with the boys and my sister Linda and I moved the rv thru three states, he left me another note. It said missing you already, love me, xoxoxo. I found that note Saturday September 25th as I was going thru things in his drawer. It took me back to the song played at my mothers memorial. Love Me, by Colin Raye. Here are the lyrics:
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.
