Hello beautiful. To miss you only would be an understatement. I cant sleep and its late on a Friday night. I just dont really feel like being out on the town tonight cause this is the night I would see you... not seeing you get out of your car with your beautiful style and smile will be sadly missed and not forgotten. Its a hard thing because you came into my life just as quick as you left...but is it over, oh no its not... wait at the gates for me :)
