從前在英國有一個貧窮的農家男孩和一個皇室貴族的女孩墮入愛河。一段不被祝福的愛...便開始了...這件事終於被女孩的爸爸發現和反對，並希望他們的愛情就此結束。
有一天，男孩得知女孩患了絕症... 但他卻不能去見她最後一面...
一個星期天早上，男孩終於忍不住，走去請求女孩的爸爸，希望能見女孩一面，對男孩來說，只要能遠遠地看一眼便足夠！但女孩的爸爸堅決不拒絕了男孩的請求...
女孩的媽媽被男孩的真誠所感動，願意偷偷地替男孩偷運一封信給患病的女孩。不過男孩知道如果信被一女孩的爸爸發現，她爸爸一定要對女孩的媽媽不利，所以他......
信件的內容如下：

女孩看這封信時... 眼淚也流過不停... 內心的痛... 更是不能形容...
她以為自己可以在臨死前找到一個真心愛她的人...
誰知自己的愛人竟然在這時候寫一封這樣的信給自己...
她已經支持不住了... 這時候失去了愛人就等於失去精神支柱...
在她臨死前... 她含著淚輕吻了男孩的畫像... 最後她便倒下了...
永遠也不再醒來... 而天空也突然烏雲密佈，下起綿綿細雨...
像是女孩的眼淚般... 落過不停...
也許是天意弄人吧... 原來女孩根本沒有讀完那封信... 在那封信的背後...
男孩寫了一句：「愛人，請你只看這封信的單數行... 1、3、5、7、9、11...」(現在請你回頭再看這封信的單數行...1、3、5、7、9、11...)

如果女孩能看到這一句... 回頭再看這封信的單數行... 1、3、5、7、9、11... 也許她也不會含淚而終...
男孩知道女孩去世的消息... 心如刀割...
有一天，男孩走到女孩的墓碑前坐下... 伴著死去的女孩... 他唯一心愛的女孩... 男孩坐在女孩的墓碑前不走，不進吃，不休息... 不久，男孩也屈屈而終... 他死時雙手緊抱著女孩的墓碑... 因為女孩的墓碑是在森山內... 所以沒有人發現男孩的屍骸...
一年後，女孩的墓碑旁長了一棵大樹，這棵大樹日日夜夜為女孩的墓碑擋風擋雨擋陽光，像在守護女孩的墓碑... 可能男孩已化成這棵大樹... 生生世世保護他「心愛的女人」！
