"Love, Me" tells of a couple who promise to love each other, even after passing away. The song's narrator tells of being with his grandfather, and reading a note that was written by his grandmother back when both grandparents were younger. Upon showing the note, the grandfather explains that he had intended to meet her at a certain tree, but instead found a note explaining why she was not there: "If you get there before I do, don't give up on me / I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be / But I'm not gonna let you down, darling, wait and see / And between now and then, 'til I see you again, I'll be loving you / Love, me." By the second verse, the narrator and his grandfather are at a church, attending the grandmother's funeral; here, the grandfather reads her the note, and is moved to tears.
