Any idea what it says?
  • 滝・・・
    愛してる。
    さようなら。

    Taki...
    aishiteru.
    Sayōnara.

    Taki...
    I love you.
    Good bye.
The word taki can have the meaning 'waterfall', but it's also used as a name; in this case the latter makes more sense, I guess.

LOL, I figured it had to be a reference to something; I just didn't know what. Thanks, Bookworm. =)
