Love Letter

This is a soppy love-song I wrote about the love a girl has for her soldier... Whether it's a real battle with guns, spies, bombs and death; or the day to day battles of life that takes him away from her. While I was writing it I thought of the romantic, dramatic scene we see portrayed over and over again in Hollywood movies of the 3o's. The wistful dreams of young girls, the passion young boys had to fight for their countries... And I realized that it was raw, simple love that kept both sides fighting, love that gave them hope and passion. Love that bound those dreams together down the generations that have lived on... I thank all the men that are someone's soldier for fighting... Most of all, I thank my own xx 

Love Letter

My pen stains page

With the ink of my soul

Of memories untold 

My words will never grasp

The love I feel inside

And yet the letters flow

This is all I want you to know

This is the simplest of love letters

It doesn’t speak of much more

Than my love for you grows stronger

Everyday I have to endure

Not seeing you before me

Or hearing your laughing voice

And knowing you’re out there fighting

My soldier - to faith, hold tightly

You’re my dearest lover, oh my constant friend

You’re my sanity and saviour

Always there till the end

I'll love you forever though bullets tear us apart

But even then

You’ll always be right here in my heart

These ribbons of love

Tied up in red

White paper splashed with my tears

The stamp pressed down

The envelop sealed

One last kiss to reach your hands

Don't forget, my love, my man

My heart
