Goodbye... My Love...

My Dearest Summer,

You and I both knew that this was not going to last forever... we both knew that our time would be over soon enough.

And, this being the last day... our deadline has come.

But, that does not mean that our time together was for nothing... it does not mean that what we had- an amazing and magical chemistry that knew no bounds- would have to be forgotten.

Forever I will remember what you gave me.

Before you came into my life, I was alright. But, things kept plaguing me... kept me from my happiness.

I was stressed... I needed reprieve... and you were exactly the factor missing in my life.

The time we spent together alone has allowed me to gain this new passion for life... this new yearning to continue on. You've pushed away the negativity that was suffocating me... and have helped me to focus only on the positive.

You gave me this new strength and self-confidence that I... didn't necessarily lack... but that I had completely forgotten about.

I was able to finally focus on me... and it's all thanks to your support.

I love you Summer! And though we cannot physically be together, it does not mean I do not want your presence within me.

I am forever grateful for the time you have blessed me with. You have given me new hope and peace... and I will forever keep you in my heart.

So, goodbye, my love. We have gone beyond a fling... you seriously were an important aspect of my life.

Thanks to you, Fall doesn't seem so grim... Winter will not be cold... and Spring will once again return to our Earth!

... and who knows what next year will bring...
