31~The heartbreaking words in the heartbreaking letter.

In my hand I hold

A letter of feelings untold.

"Dear Alistair"

It reads,

"We made our beautiful

Memories. Our love was one

That hurt to hide, since that time you abandoned my side

My heart ached, each and every day. I wonder where I went wrong! From me you strayed and fell into the arms of another, just because you wanted to please your mother!

I will never understand the decision you made and thank you for the financial aid. You took me out of my misery, my mother still adores you though, my siblings had wanted to meet you.

My innocence I handed u

My heart and my trust.

I have never loved before

I've never once felt lust.

But with you, it was different.

I found a heart that was lost

The day my father left us

To fight in the army

We had yet to see him since

My siblings know no father

But you filled the hole in my heart

You fitted in the missing piece

I won't say I won't miss you

But I will say I will miss you

I missed you since you left

And I love you still

I will always.

Don't come looking for me, my love.

~Your resigned maid

Ruth.
