To My One True Love,

I often think about you, and miss you so very much. Sometimes I still look for you, and long to feel your touch.
Noone knows the pain I feel, or how empty I am inside. I not only lost my husband, I lost the love of my life. I've tried so hard to go on, I've tried to love again. But the one thing I can't find is you in other men. I know we had our problems. Every couple does. But what out weighed our problems, is that we had much more love. They say you only have one true love, so hold onto it till the end. What are you supposed to do when you loose it after it's only just begun? Our time together was much to short. It was supposed to last so long. Why did GOD take you from me, and leave me to carry on? I know this happened for a reason,they say everything does. But what could be the purpose of taking away my one true love? I still don't understand this, it's to much to comprehend...how in just one split second, I lost my life, my love, my friend. Maybe sometime in my life I'll find the reason why. Why you were taken from me, why did you have to die? You gave me something special, that noone else ever can. I have apart of you with me, she's always close at hand. The beautiful child that we created is all that I have left. Every time I look at her I know we shared the best. I have our memories good and bad, their locked up in my heart. Noone could ever take your place, they wouldn't know where to start. You were my one true love you know, so where do I go from here? I know there's nothing to compare, to the love, trust, and friendship that we shared. I know I must go on. I've heard a million times; "Vicki you have got to be strong." But everything was so much easier when I had you to lean on. Now I'm picking up the pieces, and trying to keep them straight. I hope I can do things right, because I know you wouldn't give up without a fight. I'm going to let you go now, but baby before I do, there's one thing I want you to know...I will always and forever be in love with you. So go and rest in peace now. Put your mind at ease. Your heart was left here, and it is always safe with me.
