Analysis of A letter to my love



A Letter to my love

To; the love of my love
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 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.
