A Soldier's Last Letter

By Rishita Gupta

My dearest love,
since I'm gone,
Convince your heart
and
move on;

And promise me you will not cry,
Cause I'm a soldier born to die.

You dreamt of a lovely future with me,
But,
my love, dying was inscribed in my destiny;
I don't know where I'll be,
But will surely cherish the moment you had spent with me.

I know your eyes are filled with sorrow & grief,
But for this life, my love, I have to take your leave;

I promise we will meet someday,
And after that we'll be together forever this way.
