I need to get this off My chest
You were My first true love... When I was with You it wasn't puppy love anymore, I learned so much from You, You always wanted The best for me, I'm Sorry I didn't always take your advise. We had so much fun together, at The casinos, The bicycle club and commerce will always remind me of You, I can picture You in a Nice white shirt playing POW 9 while I stand behind You drinking some vodka. You took me to las Vegas and treated me like a queen with champagne in our suite. You looked so handsome in your blue suit it brought out The blue in your eyes. I loved how tall You were by The way. You were The only man that constantly complemented me and told me how pretty I looked or that You Liked My blouse or The way I did My hair, eras tan detallista, You would let me borrow your BMW 760 and You would take My mustang :)
Because of You I met los canelos de durango for The first time, I remember that night in hacienda heights I sat there watching You and pepe play pool. We spent halloween and new years at rodeo. And Christmas all by ourselves in a Nice little place ;) we had our ups and downs but The good times made Up for The Bad times.
I wish I would of not been So stubborn and picked You Up like You told me to The night before someone took your lifeaway... I am truly Sorry and that is The only Thing I regret in life, I feel guilty, If I would of gone maybe you'd still be alive.
I don't understand Why someone would take your life away, You were a good hard Working Person. Pero sólo dios sabe por que pasan las cosas y el se encargara del culpable. The day I found out You died I didn't believe it, it didn't hit me till days after I kept calling and calling your phone I figured You were just Mad at me, it was Easter Sunday I drove by The crime scene.and.thought to myself wow I wonder What happened here not one moment did it cross My mind that that was The place were someone ended.your life, fifteen minutes later I got The call, I froze I didn't even cry till hours later cause I didn't wanna believe it. I had Never ever lost anyone in My life. And You were unfortunatley The first Person that I experienced that horrible feeling of emptiness in My heart. I constantly think of You, I still don't believe I found closure, but I do believe your in a better place and I hope you're resting in baby. I love You forever and Miss You always
