I should'nt give up on love.

I've always put myself out there on the line for the one I love because she means everything to me and til' this day she still does, I've never met someone I would fight so hard for, I fought against my family, friends, and even strangers to protect this person because she has my heart and my love, I know fighting is a way to prove your own independence, but when I fought it was to prove something different, to prove I was different from everyone else, to prove that I was trustworthy, to prove that I really do love you.

I know giving up isn't inside of me, but my mind tells me to just let go, give up, throw in the towel and forfeit, but I know something inside of me tells me to keep up the fight, keep going and be a real champion, show the world that I'll never back down or lose without giving all the energy and fight I have inside of me, that is something my heart and I always listen to, I plan on keeping you in my heart, that is the place only you can occupy.

I look at your pictures everyday and wonder why we never got more time together, we always got the chance to talk about our futures together and what we wanted to happen in our relationship, I know our paths have been interrupted and thrown off course, but I believe that fate and destiny can be changed, I know.... no I believe that we can meet somewhere again, down the line in the future and I can get another chance to prove my love, I've never known someone that I love this much, I've never known that I could express love like this until I met you, I know people don't like us together, but we really cared less because we both love each other.

Looking in your eyes gave me something, they gave me hope and the chance to change my life and make things differently for myself...not only for me, but for us and I still see that as possible because I love you, always have and always will, I know that something will happen to show that I still love you, whether you see it now or in 20 years, I'll always love you, I just hope you find your way back to me and let me know that you still love me like I love you.

Dedicated to Mary, a shining star.
