This was so cute. You captured the love between two people so well.
I loved the way you made no attempt to explain everything that was happening. The words just swept you along, leaving the reader with a lingering sense of mystery. It is never explicitly stated what language he was writing in and, until the end we don't even find out what the characters are called. I realise that people who knew the characters would have understood but even as an outsider I found the story fascinating.
The whole piece had a beautiful sense of whimsy and mystery that made it wonderful to read.
The layout wasn't anything spectacular, but it didn't need to be; the words spoke well enough for themselves. I honestly barely noticed that it wasn't a fancy one with pretty graphics and such. I was completely focused on the story. The whole thing just drew you in and didn't let you go until the last sentence had been uttered. Fantastic job.
