My girlfriend is getting married

My most majestic majesty. My beloved one. My shadow and soul. My soul mate. The one I love with all my beating heart. I was supposed to be dead for the past decade, but her love stood me still, and kept me lingering in this world. Today is the saddest day in my life. I woke up early in the virgin morning and found a letter written on air. People who care about our love started reading for me. By the first word, I captured it. It's her sweet and breathtaking words.

Dear my beloved one.

I don't know how to say this with my own mouth. I am sorry for everything. Our dreams and hopes that we planned on living together are no more. They've been demolished my love one. I want to get married and start having kids. I love children, you know about that. I've found someone who has settled in his life. You have a lot of obstacles to cross. I can't wait for you. It sounds harsh and sad, but am so sorry my love. I will always pray for the best for you. I am on the train now, heading to Boston. That's where my loved one lives now. Goodbye my love one. I will miss you forever.

Your lover.

I can't speak and neither hear at the moment. I thought I was dead, until someone poked me. "You can love someone in just a minute, but to let go of it, it will take very long". She was right for leaving me. I have a lot to do in my life. I will pray for her forever, and I will love her till my dying days. She is the best and she deserves the best. Farewell my heart's property. I will write to you in the future. I love you.
