“I cared for him very much. In a way, I fell in love with him, and not in a “I want you to be my boyfriend” kind of way. I fell in love with his soul. I fell in love with the way he saw the world. I fell in love with how genuine he was towards others. I also fell in love with the way he made me feel like I could do anything. He inspired me. To this day, I will still say that he was brought into my life to open my eyes and teach me that the world really is my oyster. There is so much more out there than the rat race we live in. He was the very reason I grew the confidence to leave the rut I was in and go explore.”

“I cry for the future we lost But I’ll forever be grateful for the past and memories we have and share. I mourn for what could have been. But I’ll smile for what was. To have been embraced the way I was, held, loved and sheltered… I’ll forever treasure every single moment. We might never see each other ever again but your face, smile, laugh, scent and warmth will forever be an imprint left on my heart.”
