I love you more than anything in this world Chad, you are my soul mate. Wait for me my love I'll be there soon to hold and kiss you. We told eachother every day how much we love eachother and how perfect we are together. You told me and texted me beautiful things constantly and those words always matched your actions. My heart breaks for you every second and I'd give anything to make eachother laugh again and to be in your arms. Thank you for giving me the best years of my life, we found out how good it can be with mutual respect, attraction, and obsession, I'll never be the same, I'll wait for you as you wait for me, I love you always and forever
