Letters in Glass

By: Fee

I wrote a love letter to my true love

Put it in a bottle to toss out to sea

Said a prayer to ask Cupid to guide it

To wherever my true love may be

My heartfelt words written on paper

Words I knew she’d probably never see

I wrote how much I still loved her

I wrote how I wished it could still be

I sat down on the sand at the sea shore

Holding that bottled letter tight in my hand

As the sun finally set below the horizon

With bitter tears in my eyes, I did stand

Tossed that bottle far out on the ebb tide

Watched till darkness took it out of sight

Tomorrow I'd find a way to keep smiling

but…I'll cry myself to sleep again tonight.
