DLove writes a Dletter and Asends it to Dhate.
GMy vacations Gending. I'm Acoming home Dlate.
GThe weather was Afine and the Docean was Ggreat
and I Dcan't wait to Asee you Gagain. G
DHate reads the Dletter and Athrows it aDway.
G"No one here caGres if you Ago or you sDtay.
GI barely even nAoticed that yDou were aGway.
I'll sDee you or I wAon't, whatGever." G
DLove sings a soDng as she sAails through the Dsky.
GThe water looksG bluer through Aher pretty eyes.D
GAnd everyone kAnows it whenDever she flieGs,
and aDlso when sAhe comes doGwn. G
DHate keeps his hDead up and waAlks through the stDreet.
GEvery strangeGr and dArifter he greDets.
GAnd shakes hands with Aevery loDner he meeGts
wiDth a serious loAok on his fGace. G
LDove arrives saDfely with suitAcase in toDw.
GCarrying withG her the goAod things we kDnow.
GA reason to liAve and a reDason to groGw.
DTo trust. To Ahope. To carGe. G
DHate sits alDone on the hoAod of his cDar.
GWithout much rGegard to the mAoon or the sDtars.
GLazily killiAng the lDast of a jaGr
Dof the strongest stAuff you can drGink. G
DLove takes a taxDi, a youAng man drivDes.
GAs soon as he sGees her, hopAe fills his Deyes.
GBut tears followA after, at the eDnd of the rGide,
Dcause he might never seAe her agaGin. G
DHate gets home luckDy to stAill be aDlive.
GHe screams o'er the Gsidewalk and Ainto the drDive.
GThe clock in the Akitchen says D2:55G,
DAnd the clock in the Akitchen is slGow. G
DLove has been waDiting, patAient and kDind.
GJust wanting a phoneG call or somAe kind of sDign,
GThat the one that she cAares for, who's oDut of his Gmind,
WillD make it back saAfe to her arGms. G
DHate stumbles fDorward and leAans in the dDoor.
GWeary head hGung, eyAes to the Dfloor.
GHe says "Love, I'm sAorry", and shDe says, "What Gfor?
DI'm your and thaAt's it, WhaGtever. G
I Gshould not have Abeen Dgone for so Glong.
I'm Dyour's and that's Ait, Gforever." G
You're Dmine and that's Ait, Gforever. G
