Letters-Robert to Elizabeth


Robert writes to Elizabeth imploring her to come where he is stationed.








My true love,


I am still here waiting and wondering why
you still refuse to make the journey.
What thing could possibly keep you from my arms?
Do you not know by now, you are my world?
You say the distance is too great and yet
it is not so far that you cannot make the journey.
Why then do you hesitate?
Do you not know you are my life?
I can scarce breathe.
Sleep will not come to me
on nights like this for I sense your presence.
The dark, empty days torture my being.

I implore you! Please come!
Whatever is there can be left.
There is a void, an empty spot
in my heart, which only you can fill.
Do you not know this thing?
You and only you are my heart's desire?
I beg of you, do not tarry.
Come to me now, that we might be as one.
Time does work against us so wait no longer.
I love you more than even I at times
can understand, my dear one.
Take leave now and come where I am
so we might fulfill our destiny.
