Excerpts from" The Gettysburg Ghost" My beloved Sarah, I am compelled to begin this correspondence with a heavy heart, as I have received not a word from you in these past three months. There are so many things that were left unsaid with my departure from you, and I fear if I do not take this time to express them, they might forever be lost. The battles of late have been more ferocious and destructive, each day bringing more casualties than the day before. Today, all around me lie the broken bodies of honorable men, who paid, too often with their lives, for the chance to reunite our country. ................................................................................................ ................................................................................................ ................................................................................................ My dearest Sarah, if there were times when I hurt you, I am forever sorry, for I have known only love for you in my heart and would never cause you pain intentionally. If my occasional silences have made you fearful of rejection, your fears were unfounded, for they were due only to my own feelings of inadequacy. .............................................................................................. .............................................................................................. Look up when the spring rain falls, for it will be my lips delivering soft, wet kisses like the gentle passionate kisses of our last night together. |
