“Where do I begin? Well you are by far the most beautiful person I have ever known. I love you with all my heart, and it breaks me to know that after such a short time together we must be parted. It was truly the happiest time in my life and I hope it holds the same significance for you, as it did me. It will be tough for both of us but you are strong, stronger than you know, and I know you will be okay with time...You are one of the kindest most loving people, I have ever met and it is a rare quality. I am so glad to have experienced it for even the shortest period of time. I would have been glad to experience any length of time, whether that be short or long. There is an air of innocence and goodness to you that seems to reach out to all those around you. Your generosity seems to know no bounds and I truly hope you can find someone to match that. I have no doubt you will find someone better than me back home. You are gorgeous in looks; personality, mind and I know you will find someone worthy to be with you, of that I am sure. It feels strange writing this. It is surreal; the idea you must leave seems distant, unreal almost. But as I write this it is sinking in, my hand is going numb. I feel small and scared. I don’t want you to leave. Every fiber of my being says this can’t be real and this isn’t happening. I want to stop it, but what can I do. Oh how I wish you could stay. I would give up everything I have for it. How can I say goodbye? I can’t. I won’t. I can’t say it here; it is beyond me. I am tearing up here and people are staring. I say let them stare for I feel no shame in my love for you. Thank you for everything. I will never forget you. I love you with all my heart.”
