Querida Milagros

This morning when I went out on patrol
We found soldier Adrian dead
As the regulations require, we proceeded to search
The objects he was carrying. We only found this letter

Dear Milagros, I've been here for six days
I miss you, I can't live without you
I've seen the explosions flashing around me
I'm scared, I don't hide it, all I have left is your love
For now luck has smiled on me
I need to see you, there are no friends here
It wouldn't hurt if someone could explain it to me
What does this have to do with you and me?

Dear Milagros, there is so much left to live
It would be absurd to leave your skin here
Dear Milagros, I haven't been able to sleep yet
A cold dream tells me that the end is coming
When you read this letter, talk to the stars
Since I arrived here I have only spoken to them

For now luck has smiled on me
I need to see you, there are no friends here
It wouldn't hurt if someone could explain it to me
What does this have to do with you and me?
I have seen men cry like children
I have seen death as a strange bird
Glide silently over the paths
Devour a Sun that is yours and mine

Dear Milagros, I've been here for six days
I miss you, I can't live without you
Dear Milagros, there is so much left to live
It would be absurd to leave your skin here
Dear Milagros, I've been here for six days
Many have died, almost all will die
Dear Milagros, I have to say goodbye
Always love you, your soldier Adrian
