||My Letter of Love||

February 22, 1822, it is,

My dearest miss, this letter I send

Each day, I see your face in the glass,

Beside me, your absence, a void to amass

Without you, sleep and food elude,

The war's facade, my heart, it deludes

This ache, it's real, it's true, it's deep,

I know you feel it too, in your sleep

I'll return, my love, I solemnly swear,

Life without you, I cannot bear

Though foes may gather, fierce and stout,

For you, my dear, I'll rout them out

My love for you, a victory profound,

I'll shout it loud, till echoes resound

Fear not, my love, I'll hasten home,

To hold you close, no longer to roam

Forever yours, my darling, know this true,

Take care, my love, till I'm with you
