It's early January 2022 & I'm sitting reading letters my mum wrote to my dad at various times and years after they broke up when I was a teen. Dad mentioned this song in his letters and I'm listening and a bit teary now. They REALLY loved each other, they'd just got lost and hurt each each other as they married so young. As the song says "when we're gone..." and now they're together in heaven.

The entire song they would not look away from each others eyes, and it was that moment i realised they would be together until death. It was the most moving part of the entire day and i wish them both a happy marriage

Even when he'd go out shopping or anything else he used ring me up and sing a love song to me as he was setting out to come home. Each day we fell more and more in love.
