cher ami

Min amour, min onely, min chusun
Today walde be good day excepte the neas here. The colurs of the flours do naught scinth as briht. The sunnes raies do naugt warmen as fully. The flours do naugt smel as swetely; the birds do naugth singe as beautifuly. The weoreld na more makden me dizzy. Heovene na more inspireth aye. Oh who am ich scoffying—lokest the windoye ne wille wyrchen. The chariot ne willen gan. The tubbe leke and ich ne can oppen not the barayl.
Can thu juste kumen hom al redy?
Ich am hate ond have weakan everywhere. Ich can naught slepen bi cause the tubbes leke cepanme me awake and ich am hungre wythout the benes in the barayl and thu chnawenn how muche Ich heateth to skip a melu. It is juste oo woo after an other. Here is the thinge. Life simpeliche nis wearthe livande wythout thu.

My love, my only, my chosen
Today would be a good day except you weren’t here. The colors of the flowers do not shine as bright. The suns ray’s don’t warm as fully. The flowers don’t’ smell as sweetly.the birds don’t sing as beautifull. The world no more makes me dizzy. Heaving no more inspires awe. Oh who am I kidding. Look- the window won’t work. The chariot won’t go. The tub leaks and I can’t open the barrel. Can you just come home already?
I am hot and have to walk everywhere, I can’t sleep because the tub’s leak keeps me awake and I am hungry without the beans in the barrel and you know ho wmuch I hate to skip a meal. It’s just one woe after another. Here’s the thing. Life simply ain’t worth living without you.
Missing my knight

My favorite line is "The world no more makes me dizzy." You have a fine sense of "sensibility" in your writings.
