In December 2008 I gave him a  journal I was keeping. It was to give him strength to deal with his problems and to let him know that I thought about him all the time and I love him.

The first letter in the journal is called The Prelude. He wrote me that letter in high school, 2007. What we started to develop was wrong at the time because of our situations. But we chose to go with our hearts over our heads. We've been inseparable ever since. For years I always kept it close to me.

The last two entries mean the most. We rarely argued but we had some disagreements.  It just reminds me that through any anger or argument we had they were always short lived and we always brought it back. I had to black out some stuff because it was personal.

 

He always told me he loved me, every single day. He's never called me outside of my name, or cursed at me or touched me. I'm in no way implying that our relationship was perfect of course.  For us though, it was amazing.

 

I wanted to share this book to share a story. It doesn't fully describe how strong our love and our bond was, but its a glimpse. We had almost the same top 10 favorite rappers. We loved Hip Hop, watching football, basketball, crime shows, and Martin :). Wherever we were together whether it was out somewhere or at home, we always had fun. Outside of being just partners that was truly my best friend.

Another man like him will never exist. This is what I deem to be one of The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.
