Without You...
Written by Ritha Ramos

My world is so much lonelier without you… I don't trust as much, nor do I allow others the opportunity to, They don't know me, haven't taken the time to do so and that's fine with me. You knew me, better than I know myself and I remember this so clearly, yet it took time, it took time to listen to me, talk with me, and look within my soul, exercise patience with my moods. You did that for me and for that, I am eternally grateful, very appreciative and more patient with others. I just haven't found anyone else like you and I don't think I ever will. I've come to this time in my life where I cannot put into words the desire I have to hold you again.

If given the opportunity, I would… no questions asked, no need for an answer, just seeing you would give me the strength I feel that I need.

I know, you don't agree, but how much nicer would it be to be able to lean against you?

No doubt I wish that I could, more than ever.

No one can stand in your place, your shoes, your whole being… I don't blame those who feel that they don't measure up, because truly, they don't.

I was right all along when I said how much you've changed me, changed the way I see life and ultimately, the way I see death.

I have made better choices than before, and I learn something new every day of my life.

Today, I have learned that no matter how much you may want something to turn out, it doesn't happen that way.

Had that been the case, you would be here with me, holding me, loving me, talking with me, and living each day beside me.

I would take care of you, as you would me and I would smile again, the way only you could make me smile.

I miss you more every day. I love you so very much.

I hope I see you again someday…
