Waiting

I remember the back seats

In the local movie houses.

It was there we pitched woo

And I got to know you.

 

It was our first date,

After I had met you.

Others would follow,

Until the war took me away.

 

You wrote to me every day,

And it gave purpose for coming home.

It made my days and nights,

Knowing I had a gal waiting for me.

Those daily letters were quite common back then. For some reason, men always seemed more likely to have trouble writing back. Now, lovers text one another many times throughout the day, but get little from it. Not like the uplifting spirit of a three week old letter that came thousands of miles and across an ocean just to get there to cheer you up.
