Since you’ve been gone

You came into my life unexpectedly and everything took a turn for the better. The way you smiled at me, your voice and your warm embrace all carried me off into the sunset. I never knew what love was until I was loved by you. It has been so long since I last saw you, held you, laughed with you and looked into your mysterious eyes; and you still warm my heart every time I think of you. At first the pain of losing you was unbearable, then with time it got easier to live with, but even today you still live in me in so many ways. Today marks yet another year that you have been stolen from me, whisked away many years too early. I miss you my love, confidant and best friend, more than even the best author’s words can ever describe. But I am grateful for every memory, every smile, and every tear I got to share with you, because they were by far the best time of my life. One day when I leave this lonely world of ours, I will meet you once again. But while I wait on that time to come, I will love you with every beat of my aching heart.

Remembering you always,

Etienne
