Dear Tortus:

Today, Anju told me about she was getting engaged

At first I was shocked, then slightly enraged.

Not at her, but at the one she's engaged to, Kafei

I feel like he's going to take my little Anju away

Its times like these when I need you here

But you've just seemed to dissapear

I worry about you day and night

Are you all right? Are you even alive?

And that moon, that dreaded moon...

I have a feeling that something bad will happen soon

People call me crazy, for thinking such things

I can't help but think about it, I dread what tomorrow brings

We're going to Romani's Ranch tomorrow and Kafei still has not shown

I'd hate to think he's left her all alone

She's upset, but she's handling it well

If Kafei makes her life miserable, I'll make his life hell

I wish you could see how much she's grown

She's not the little girl you've used to known

I'm proud of the way she's handling life

I'm sure one day she'll make a fine wife

Tortus, I'll miss you dearly

And I mean those words sincerely

As I finish this letter to you, I see a young child

He looks just like you, he seems determined and mild

I realize it's not you, but can't we just pretend?

Right now he seems like my only friend

Tortus, it's time to say good-bye, I'll always love you forever, please forgive me

"Tortus, would you like for me to read you a story?"
