The Last Love letter 
 A letter in a bottle to my love
I hope someone, somewhere will pick it up
That it will journey safe across the sea
Where my sweetheart waits patiently for me….

Sail away and deliver this letter
To the one I love and will forever
I need him to see this desperately
My dying day is shortly soon to be.

How I tingled whenever you were near
At sweet nothings you’d whisper in my ear
Everything about you drove me insane
Without you it’d never have been the same.

You raised me up so I’d reach twinklin’ stars
Together we made magical memoirs 
Soaring to places far beyond our ken 
Time after time and then over again.

Your love to me was everything, for sure 
Life was so much crazier than before 
A rollercoaster you've just gotta' ride
Each twist and turn a wonderful surprise.

The flame in my heart burns hot for you
Will always be ablaze, constantly true
Darling if ever you get this letter
Keep it safe, it is my last one ever.

Who needs devices or the internet when you can send such a moving appeal in a sturdy bottle?! Hope you've insured the contents; they're worth it! Cheers, Gershon
