Thank you for showing me what it was like to love…

I mean, like, really love.

Even if only for a brief moment, I remember feeling whole.

I know there were many more moments of malevolence involved in our time together.

Even still, I only tend to recall the scarce and thinly-spread moments of elation.

I recall being in disbelief that first night that it all went down.

Our friendship would never be the same.

Your first name will forever be my middle name.

    Aw, that's so beautiful. I had a love like that once ... for six months. We were only 16. His parents took their family and moved away. We never saw each other again but he'll always be in my heart. Thank you for reminding me that love will always live forever.
