Dear Freya,

The mountain tops are covered in soft white snow which falls each day; the rivers which were once warm, are now frozen and the trees which once danced, now stand silently. My footsteps in the snow do not look right without yours by their side and the frozen rivers cannot hold me. I need you.

We could have run off together, into the wild, and built a cottage hidden amongst tall willows and oaks. We could have collected herbs and water from the rivers nearby, and had picnics whist looking at the views from the mountains. We could have danced with the trees. We could have danced together; lived together; loved together.

But now you are nowhere to be found. You are the first and only girl whom I have loved. Where you go, so does my heart and soul. I know you did not wish to be a burden, but you never could be a burden! I know you ran off to save me and I know that you did it out of love. But I also know that I shall never see you again.

I fear it is not long before my heart and soul returns to me and that one day you shall forget me, but promise me you will remember that you are not alone and that there is someone who loves you on these ancient lands.

I hope you are safe and I hope you are well,

Love,
Merlin.
