Dear Fernando
How are you? I am writing to remind you that I miss you, that I love you and that I want to see you. I just
hope that one day we can meet again and have a coffee to remember all those moments that we spent, I
hope that one day we can return to what we were before, and this time do everything right.
If at any time you consider it, you will know where to find me and then look for me, until life brings us
together again, I say goodbye
Before I finish writing this letter, I want you to know that you are the love of my life even though things did
not work out between the two of you, you will always be my great love.
