To one of the greatest people, I've ever met, almost every day I wish that you had never left.

I know the saying goes that you're in a better place, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see your face.

I can't help but think about you all the time, I miss the days of us in our prime.

Sometimes I swear that I see your face in the clouds, and I think of when we stood together in crowds.

No matter who was near, you were always by my side and you were always around to take a ride.

I can't help but wonder why it was you, I'm sure no one else would make me this blue.

But that's not fair for me to wish, to think that your life was worth more would be foolish.

I can't beg for someone else to be taken instead, that would just mean someone else's family is dead.

I know that I have to try to let you go, but every day, I'll still love you, I hope you know.

I hope you can still remember us, if not, maybe your memory will adjust.

I wish no sorrow or worry anymore, that in the afterlife is uncalled for.

Begging some greater power to bring you back would just make my heart feel really black.

I can't pretend that my pain has decreased, but I know that your pain has finally ceased.

I just pray that our memories won't be forgotten; that's one thing that would make me feel rotten.

I don't know where your soul has traveled now, I'm not sure if heaven is real anyhow.

Wherever you've decided to rest in peace, your legacy of greatness will never cease.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
