Perfumed Letter
My darling sweet sweet love Pete
its been over three long months seems like eternity now since you departed and my world stopped
And my sun became cold
I miss you more with each breath and I take
Every heart beat beats for you and only you my love
How are you they say the war will be over by xmas
I try to imagine what it's like over there in France
I hope you are fed well and the war will be over soon
Must seem strange to be so faraway when you never even left the village before
Great news Mr Higginbotham
Has promsed you a position as an apprentice at his office on your return!
With great prospects oh it makes me happy
I stand by the bay window looking out like a lost soul every single waking moment
waiting for you to come home safe to me
And take You to my breast once more and feel your warm embrace
And your tickly mustachie on my skin again
I dream about you all the time
Mr Kitchner has told us to be strong and carry on
I've heard some terrible rumours about the war over there
In the village but don't believe such a place exists
Strange to see the milkman Bob in uniform
His wife like most women now are taking over the mens jobs
Ma ma says'' it's not befitting a lady to wear trousers
How shameful wouldn't happen in her day oh no''
Your Aunt Bessie is in hospital having an operation on her leg she sends her love
Diasy wanted me to go to the pictures to see Charlie Chaplin
But I declined I can't think of anything but you
I looked in the mirror today and saw you looking back
Oh and guess what
The squire has a motorcar yes, I seen it myself on the back road
A little man with a red flag ran in front
Frightend all the horses Mr Figgs wasn't too pleased with his dray.
I was in the post office on snail hill
And Mrs Stubbs let me us the new telephone yes!
Here's me Mrs Stubbs told me to shout'' Ahoy there''
I phoned My uncle Jim why I couldn't belive when he replied I tell you.
it was so clear I thought he was in the room ha ha
Mr and Mrs Pettinger next door their dog Button has had a litter of puppies
Oh they send their greetings, They say I can have one
Thought it be company while your away I'll call it smiler after you
Haaaa...... I miss you so I wonder what you are doing both day and night
Miss Smith the seamstress has made me a new dress
I bought it with some money I've been saving in my piggy bank
The same lady who made my wedding dress you know tall well spoken you know
Do you remember Mr bluette when his camera exploded in a puff of smoke
Chocked the lot of us ha ha it's funny now
I had it made especially for you darling for your return and renewel of our voes
Molly told Sally and Sally told me there's a flu pandemic or something sweeping many countries
Hope it doesn't come here
Mary had ten children all told died of a fever years ago
All buried together in the church yard remember
I pressed the flower you gave me the day you left to go to war
In the Bible It will stay with me always to the grave
They say this war will end all wars is that true?
You looked like a proper man all smart like in your uniform
I was so proud
the girls in the village were so so jealous
Seventeen and so handsome
I wait and wait my love and hope one day soon
You'll walk through the garden gate and shout ''Peaches'' as you always do
And we walk hand in hand by the old oak on to the bejewelled meadow
Adorned with dainty butter cups
The place you proposed and gave your hear to me
Then ypu lay me down on a bed of clover
with the naked sky looking down
And the warm sun caress our bare skin
And the soft breeze gently teases stroking our bodies as you give yourself to me
As the day we wed
Oh what rapture what bliss I hunger for you so so much!
I pray your safe return and read your letters to me over and over
Keep them close to my heart
I am nothing wthout you But everything with you
Oh how my heart yearns for thee
I must go and put our kitty to bed oh sisters
stay safe my love Your girl your faithful wife
