Just One Letter

Just one letter from you that\'s all I ask 

I know our romance was way in the past

Strong promises you made before you left

A letter each week, you\'d give me your best

 

They said you were among all the missing 

I was told no more, it was a secret mission 

If we had married like you wanted us too 

A family I\'d have, but just loneliness I brew

 

Everyone thinks I\'m a foolish old lady 

Possibly even a little bit kinda crazy   

Truth be told life is stranger than fiction

I\'m sticking with my one true conviction

 

Somewhere out there you might still be alive 

With this thought every day is how I thrive                                                                                                                                                                                From this little piece of land I\'ll never move

No better way my eternal love for you I prove
