The leaves are starting to put on their autumn coats and the weather is becoming crisp and cool.  When I get up in he morning I can feel that the winter coldness is not too far in the future because the bathroom tiles hold the chill of the night.

Even with the freezing cold weather inevitably on its way, I'm not dreading it as I have in the past.  I have discovered you and known you intimately.  There is a natural warmth about you that no snow storm could ever ice over.  Your arms have warmed me; your lips have tasted mine and mine yours; your hands have held mine; your eyes have looked into my very soul and loved me.

Your body took my body into yours, making me know the pleasures of the flesh; but you were always more giving than taking; leaving me limp from your love.

You made me laugh, big belly laughs; your eyes twinkled with mischief soon to come.  You loved me, loved me unconditionally and I will hold you in my heart and soul forever.

Your passing was too soon; my love.....you were my first love, and I will never, never forget you.  I will always love you until death due us part...........
