Dear [name of girlfriend],
As you probably know, I'm not very good at this kind of thing. I'm kind of a down-to-earth guy, and romantic stuff always seems a bit overblown to me. Nevertheless I've attempted to put my feelings into this letter, so even though it may seem a bit awkward, know that its sentiments are entirely heartfelt.
I will miss you incredibly in my year that I'll be gone. Going to [place in asia] for a year is a major event for me, and an exciting one, but I am saddened that you won't be joining me and we can't share this experience. I wish you were coming with me.
I love you,
[your name]

If you want to make it longer, add a paragraph between the two about you two together ("remember that summer rain and you got all wet, because I had the umbrella?"), and perhaps things you like about her ("the way you crack your knuckles is so charming").
Good luck making this relationship work, by the way.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
