Dear Me, Love Me
Mark Elliott
Well, it took you long enough
But you finally opened up
This letter that’s been locked away for years
Every word is true
Waiting patiently for you
To break the seal and wash away your tears
Dear me
I wrote you this letter hoping someday you will see
And believe
That no matter what you’ve been through, you’re everything you need to be
Take what I say to heart as you make your brand-new start
Dear me, love, me.
Don’t listen to the past
‘Cause it ain’t even half
Of the girl you were or the woman you are now
God knows you’re strong and brave
And they can’t take that away
If love’s the only thing your heart allows
Dear me
I wrote you this letter hoping someday you will see
And believe
That no matter what you’ve been through, you’re everything you need to be
Take what I say to heart as you make your brand-new start
Dear me, love, me.
Love is all I’ve ever wanted from everybody else
But how I can ask them to do what I won’t do myself
Dear me
I wrote you this letter hoping someday you will see
And believe
That no matter what you’ve been through, you’re everything you need to be
Take what I say to heart as you make your brand-new start
Dear me, love, me.
For Christie Evans, Debra Pringle, Eva Bodiford, Janice McCanelly, and Angela “Andy” Kinsler
