What a time in my life when I first met you, the things going on, and the way I was.
So closed to all, I refused to trust anyone at all.  I refused to even think of the idea of being in love.  It was something I absolutely refused to ever think about.


You became my best friend, and we began sharing what ended up in my heart, being a lifetime of truth, honesty, love, and memories.
You were like a dream to me, something everyone had but only few ever get to see come true.  You
awakened the soul within me and allowed me to see the beauty of falling in love once again in my life.  You walked through the proverbial Garden
of Eden with me, hand and hand we were together in everything.

You gave me the love and the peace to be able to lay my head down at night and sleep in peace for a change, to wake in the morning and see the sun shining through my life, instead of the coldness and dark.
Because of you, I felt no longer alone,
I felt as if I could trust others.  I didn't need to protect me so deeply.  I could allow myself to love again, to feel again, to live again.
For once, I was ready to come out of hiding.  And this was only because of you.


There was only one problem with all this magical love going on, you belonged to another.  You weren't mine to love, to share with, or to
venture down a path that would forever change us.


As I look back now, I see what a path my life has taken since I first met you. How I've changed, how we've changed, and how forever my soul has changed.
How you still have the ability to walk into my life and create and bring back all those feelings that I first had for you.  You are the reason I can say:  I have been blessed in my life to know what true love is.  You are the reason I have been blessed to say:  I have
loved and lost.


You are like this angel floating around in life, giving a part of yourself to every person you touch.  The problem is, you always try to take it back,  never allowing it to float freely among the ones you have touched so deeply.
You are my angel still, after all these years, floating around me.  Will I ever get over this?  Will I ever be able to let go?  This is my quest in life, letting go now of what I can see today was never meant to be, and what will never be.
Forever, though, you have changed the person I am, by that one chance meeting of a lifetime.  You are the reason I can say I have found the one truth in love of my life.
