To you my love I say goodbye,
to you my love my spirit cries.
The time is nigh,
yet I do not know,
why I must leave
the earthly realm,
the oceans, the sky,
the mountains covered in snow.
Our love remains through eternity,
of that ideal we can be sure.
My heart is torn in pieces now,
my soul cries out…
it is our fate.
It is my path,
my setting sun…
to leave the other half
of me…
to leave the one who set me free.
Fear not the destiny of two,
that one doth leave
the other behind,
we will meet again,
our hearts entwined.
This is another book that was recommended to me, by my Aunt, and I put it on my reading list where it stayed for quite some time.

Dreams really can be amazing.
Dream a little dream is Giovanna Fletcher’s third novel and was widely anticipated following her first two bestsellers, ‘Billy and Me’ and ‘You’re the one that I want’. Although she is a highly dedicated wife and mother, Giovanna always finds time to write, despite her increasingly busy schedule. This book is for an adult (or young adult) audience and Giovanna’s writing certainly suits and reflects this. Despite knowing how a typical romance novel runs, Giovanna always takes a particular idea to explore in each of her novels; this is why I like her so much as an author. In this case, she considers the notion of dreams and their potential significance. This idea definitely intrigued me throughout the novel.
Having only discovered Giovanna’s books after her first two had been out for some time, I was amongst those anticipating the release of this one. The…
