Oh my dear how I hate to leave you
For I wish I could stay
I promise to hold my word to return safely true
I hope to return safe and sound someday
If I am not to return my dear Florence
I want you to stay joyful and prosperous
Although the thought of me leaving fills me with abhorrence
The thought of you being on your lonesome makes me anxious
All the letters I send will have my soul and heart
Gaze upon them if you feel despondent
I despise that we must depart
As my love for thou is abundant
I need to finish this with a heroic couplet. How should I end it?
In every word and thought, my love for you will be, A beacon guiding you through life's tumultuous sea. Though miles may part us, know my heart is ever near, In every sunrise, in each whispering breeze, I'm here.
