“My Dearest Allie. I couldnt sleep last night because I know that its over between us. Im not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, Ill smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and thats what youve given me. Thats what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. Ill be seeing you. Noah”
