A letter to a person with whom it appears that the author of the letter has a love relationship, describes a trip that the author of the letter has arranged, and that is to happen in the imminent future. However, since the author of the letter has just decided to withdraw from the love relationship, the letter is also a farewell letter.
This is the second song I have posted on this forum.

I think I've found a place that's to your liking.
The kind of place at which you love to be.
Out back, long, green hills are striking.
Out front, there's a view of the sea.
But I won't be there with you,
'cause you and I are through,
I'll rather be alone than be with you.
A footpath towards the hills starts at the doorstep.
The path is flanked by many a giant tree.
The footpaths in the forest are abundant.
From a viewpoint, there's a mountain range to see.
But I won't be there with you,
'cause you and I are through,
I'll rather be alone than be with you.
It's a short stroll down to the village,
There's the station and a beach that is clean.
The beach is loved by sunbathers and children.
To reach it, walk across the village green.
But I won't be there with you,
'cause you and I are through,
I'll rather be alone than be with you.
A ticket is included in this letter.
Since you like it, I've secured a window view.
The packing's done; included is a sweater.
The train is set to leave at five past two.
But I won't be there with you,
'cause you and I are through,
I'll rather be alone than be with you.
