| If My Heart Had Wings Authors Note: The Italics print is the letter, The bold face print is the lyrics and the regular print is the actual story. 1943 Damn these old wheels Rolling too slow I stare down this white line With so far to go My dear love, It's been two years since I saw your beautiful face filled with happiness. It's been so long since I felt the love coming from your heart that I almost forget how it feels. Each day seems to be going so slow as my love for you continues to grow stronger. I stare out at the battlefield, we still have a long fight before we beat the Japenesse but it will soon end and then i can return to you and feel the love you have for me once again. Head lights keep coming Loneliness humming along Who poured this rain? Who made these clouds? I stare through this windshield Thinking out loud Time keeps on crawling Love keeps on calling me home My heart sometimes fills with loneliness not having you to hold. My heart keeps yearning for you and the love we have shared. It keeps calling me home to you, just to see you for a second to return your love back to my heart. Each day when I look up at the sun I could see your face and the smile I love. If my heart had wings I would fly to you and lie Beside you as you dream If my heart had wings The love we have keeps me going during battles. Just thinking of you keeps me alive. If I could I would send you all my love in a letter to remind you that I still have the same feelings of us before I left. As I dream I could feel you next to me and smell the scent of your ahir fill the air. We both committed We both agreed You do what you have to to get what you need Feeling you near me with so many miles in between Lord, it aint easy out here in the dark To keep us together so far apart I could still remember when we first met, our love from hat point in time was so strong and becoming stronger. So many miles from you I could still feel your love drifting around me with the air. You stuck with me these years while I was gone. Isnt it a blessing how god didnt let us drift apart? But maybe his blessing was right when I proposed to your before I left. I could still see the sparkle of happiness in your eyes mixed with the tears of love that had threatened to fall. If my heart had wings I would fly to you and lie beside you while you dream If my heart had wings The war is calling me to fight now. But I wish I could be home with you. I'll be home soon just wait and see. Love Always And Forever, Nick She let the letter fall onto the gravestone and felt the tears fall down her cheeks. He was gone for good now. Her love, her husband, the one that always kept her going. She looked at the gravestone as she took the ring that he had placed once on her finger off. She looked at it one last time before throwing it on the gravestone beside the letters. She turned and walked away. Not wanting to remember him or the love he had given her. By: Mel |
