Perfect love may not last forever, but it makes us better men.

We think we have set the rules and we can follow them, but over time our feelings develop and we lose control.

In the relationship between lovers, you will definitely want to possess each other more, and you will definitely want to be greedy to get more. So when the male protagonist broke the rules and proposed to marry the female protagonist, their relationship was pushed to the brink and there was no room for it. At that time, the heroine involuntarily accepted the male lead's proposal and the male lead's ring, but after calming down, she finally left a letter of breaking up, using her departure as a farewell.

They don't last forever, maybe it's this imperfection that makes this love seem so perfect. Perhaps the abrupt end of the separation is not a death sentence for love, but it keeps love alive and perfect as ever.

Love is a wonderful experience, but love is also a form of restraint. Love is not the whole of life, there are also responsibilities, morals, commitments... and other ties in life. If you immerse yourself in it and hope to have more happiness, it will only increase misfortune and misery.

A beautiful love may not only be possessed but also obtained, it should allow us to learn to understand ourselves better, learn how to love, cherish, live, and become a better person.

Part of the heroine's breakup letter:

Some of the girls were lucky. They had fallen in love, but not me. Not once. Even though I had been all over the world, and had met everyone, I didn't believe in love.

8 years later, I discovered that I should have. It has stunned me. This kind of new happiness, which came out of nowhere. This secret door that has opened in me. I have never felt so alive... as when I' m in your arms. It is tempting, so tempting to forget about everything and just accept this gift.

But I cannot. And not because I don't believe that you would be a marvelous stepfather and a wonderful father to the children that we might have had together. Not because of lifestyle or the difference in our ages, or the opinions of others. When Valery and I married, we wrote our own vows. He has always kept his promise, and I feel I must keep mine.

But it's more than a matter of honor. One day, when you have children, you'll understand that to leave them is to leave yourself. And to injure them, unthinkable.

I told you, I'm an old-fashioned girl. Please do not try to contact me. It will not change anything. I am so sad to say goodbye, to be parted. I can't believe it, really.

We had so many adventures still ahead of us. Maybe... if we had had more time, I would have found something about you. I didn't like, really, couldn't stand, which would be very useful right now.

But I doubt it. They say that no love is perfect. But then, they never met you.


Some narrations from the male lead:

As little as you want to write when you're happy, that's how much you have to write when you're miserable . Your passions have to go somewhere, and writing is the only place left. Your suffering has to be good for something.

I had a long time to consider the value of memory. And the idea that just because something doesn't last forever, doesn't mean its worth is diminished. May be it's just rationalization.

But I chose to believe in memory. I chose to believe in her. I chose to believe that the bond was never broken and that we carried each other in our hearts, as a secret.

She made me a writer. She made me a man.

There would be other loves, even greater loves . But she was right. Only one remained perfect.

And as a result, it never quite left me alone. I wondered if it remained perfect for her as well, or if I was just holding on to an idea. Some questions have to go unanswered.
