The passion that was between us still lingers in my mind. You were one of my best friends. Always together, sneaking out of work together and going on a crazy ride. Ending up at my house we would talk and joke around. We got to know each other over those two years, but you wouldn't keep me. You set me free and let me go. I didn't want that and you knew it. Someone else needed you more.
I remember sitting with you for one of your tattoos. I remember going out after work and grabbing a bite to eat. The parties we went to, the friends we made. The things we did. I remember cooking breakfast for you, you came up behind me with your bare chest against my clothed back. You would wrap your arms around me and say "Good morning babe." Then you would sing softly to me.
We talked about things unknown. Secrets that lie between only us. You would take me into the night and happiness mixed with a content feeling would follow. I still remember your arms around me. I remember how your kisses felt. I loved you with all my heart. You pulled me out of times of saddness and made me feel complete again. I never told you how much I loved you, but you knew, we both felt it between us.
Remember working together? How we had to ignore each other all night so we didn't raise eyebrows. We joked and laughed a little. I would whisper in the break room and tell you to meet me at the four seasons for dinner. You would grin and show up. We would sit there all night just talking. Then we would go home together where we would stay up till the crack of dawn just being with each other.
After we lost touch, I moved. I got married and had kids. Two years ago around christmas time I thought about you alot. I felt sad and I missed you. A month later I got the news. You were in a car accident and didn't make it. You went into diabetic shock while driving. Remember when I found your syringe in your pocket and told you to leave my house and never come back? You laughed and showed me the insulin.
I wish things could of been different. I will always love you even though you are no longer here. Sometimes I feel your prescence around me. I know your in my heart and will be forever. May the angels keep you safe and may you be happy in the afer life. When its our turn to retur to earth maybe it will work between us.
Your love and kindness will never be forgotten. Your passion and spark will always be carried.
You gave me two years of knowing what that kind of connection can do for someone. Pure electricty.
