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...

This song - Love Me by Collin Raye was introduced to me by one of my classmates in Secondary 3. I must say, all the songs that I hear, belongs to the Sentimental and Love genre. I just simply cannot tolerate those songs which KPKB! =D

All the songs that I have spoke about, be it in Chinese or English, all left a very deep footprint in my Life. And, I believe, it would definitely stay till the end of my Life too. Why? The reason is simple - The person who got me acquainted with the songs, have once been part of my Life. They (2 of them) became an integral part of my Life, and I have this sense of gratitude towards them. Till today, they were never once forgotten.

I will continue in the next section of the blog... ...
