Raffles POV 1823

Four years. Four years without William. Four years without my love. During those sad, lonely years, I was back home in Britain. It was torture, only being able to send letters to him. At least he had reconciled with me and was writing letters back. I also managed to continue working on my poem


Hello, darling. My heart's delight.

 Your smile so bright, my days so light.

With you by my side, life's so sweet.

 Every moment spent, a cherished treat.

Your voice like music, to my ears.  A symphony that wipes away my fears.

 Your touch so gentle, yet so strong.

Makes me feel like I truly belong.

Hello darling, my love divine 

Your beauty so pure, it shines and shines 

In your eyes, I see the stars In your embrace, I forget my scars


I could not wait to show him the poem. While I was back in Britain, I managed to divorce Sophia. That was the biggest relief of my life. It made my days seem a little bit better. 

Every time one of William's letters arrive, my heart aches for him dearly. I missed looking at his face, his shiny brown orbs. 

Every night I gaze at the stars in the night sky, I hope that he was looking at them too. 

Every day I think of seeing him again, what I would do, what I would say when we meet again. 

Every night I dreamt of him, telling me he loved me.

Every day I hoped that it would be the day I would go back to him. 

I'm coming for you love, I promise.
