A Letter To My Love

A letter to my love

To; the love of my life
Spare me some of your time 
As I'm heading too far now 
Let me tell you in a rhyme. 

The days we've spent together 
And the moments we lived 
Are confined to my memories 
Which can never be released. 

Reminiscing about the dreamy summer 
When we were strolling along the shore 
With our fingers tightly intertwined 
Craving each other  more and more 

The joy we shared at the thought 
Of getting drenched together in the rain 
Was the most precious of all 
That kept me going despite the pain. 

Autumn was extremely mollifying 
With the leaves turning golden and red 
Settled down in our cosy arm-chairs 
The astounding artistry of nature, we beheld. 

In the darkest winter night 
The solitary woods were filled with snow 
But I  felt a warmth in my heart
Was it your love that I know.

Remember the day we danced gaily
On the notes of a tweeting bird 
You robed in a white floral gown
"Magic of spring", we whispered. 

Darling, it's time to confess the truth 
I've been hiding for so long, 
Afflicted with an incurable disease 
Can't battle with it another year long.

My heart torn apart by the news, 
My hopes shattered one by one
Then you stepped into my life, sweetheart 
And all my sadness and anguish were gone.

By the time you receive my letter 
I won't be there to hear back from you 
Forgive this craven if you can 
For my love is eternal, pure and true.
