To My Darling David,

I still have a clear picture of our first real date. You know what I mean my real, the chat rooms didn't count. I still see my self standing in front of my bathroom mirror shaking so bad I couldn't even put my make up on right. Dating was never an easy thing for me and going out to dinner with some guy I meet online was just crazy talk, but I did my best. It took me almost two hours to find something to wear that night not to mention how many different times I did and redid my hair. I was just a walking nightmare and not the cool you get to wake up when it is over nightmare, more like the Freddie is going to kill you in your sleep kind. But I did press on and I managed to only be ten minutes late.

You were not any better that night. You could hear you hand shaking as you rang the bell on my front door. I can still see the light reflecting off your forehead as we walked back to your car. I really did think as you closed the door to your car you were going to drop it on my leg.

The silence in the car was worse then death. It was almost like we had so much to say but really nothing at all. If you listened hard enough you could hear both of out hearts beating like a drum line at a college football game. Ever once in awhile I would catch you trying to look at me from the corner of your eyes, but you would not look long enough for me to look back into yours. The traffic was so bad that night all I can remember thinking was get the hell out of our way so I can get to the restaurant, once we get there it will be all better. Boy was I ever right.

We pulled into the parking lot and you barely let me get out of the car before closing the door on me. We walked inside and every sight every smell was like new to me. I had eaten here a million times before and never did a place seem so foreign to me. Almost every table was full so we had to wait a bit and all I could do was look around the room for anything familiar and all I could see was you.

As we were seated you began to speak, surprisingly enough in complete sentences. The restaurant was so very crowed I could barely hear you speak but I did all that I could to get by. After a few moments the room began to fade away from around me and all I could see was you. Your voice became louder then any of the others around me and it was a good thing, because all I wanted to hear was you telling me all about everything the world had in it.

The conversation was different then any other we had shared before. There was something about you being right in front of me that made anything you said way more personal. We had still had almost all of our food on our plates after an hour sitting at that table. There was nothing anyone could have done to stop us, until the waitress can and went a million times and we finally got the hint.

You finally got the door thing right as we left the restaurant. I was so proud of you in that moment. We spent so much time driving that night. Just getting lost in conversation and not really wanting to stop. We finally parked the car and really began to listen to each other.

As we faced each other in the car the silence began again. I will never forget you totally bombing the attempt of our first kiss. The sound of both our laughter filled the car before I stopped it with my lips against yours. There was nothing around us but the stars and the view of town in front of us not that it mattered, all I wanted was that kiss to go on forever.

We had three years of amazing first after that David. Each one of the better then the one before it for different reasons, whether they went the way we planned or not they were still each perfectly ours. For the time that we were together all that matter was each and every second we were together and in the end I took every last one of those for granted. You were it my one and only true love and I realized it one moment too late.

As you read the rest of this letter I need you to understand that this is not a plea for you back, this is a confession of all my faults to you and an apology for all that I have done to hurt you. I can not take the steps forward until I know that I have done all that I can to understand the past. I love you David and always will and I know now that we had a chance to be great and I took that chance from us both. There were some things I could never say then with the fear that I may lose you but now since all is said and done I can give you those things and hope you understand why I am doing this now.

I was always so selfish and cruel to you. I did all that I could to make you feel guilty for ever leaving my side and I am sorry for that. No matter who or what kept you from me I hated it. Whether I was work, family, or friends you were only to be mine and no one else to have you and that was wrong. I couldn't stand the idea of losing you and it was exactly what pulled us apart.

You always had this strength about you that you never believed that you had and I was jealous I didn't have. You could get yourself though just about anything that life could throw at you. If it was me, or work or even bad traffic on the freeway you just walked right through it like it was nothing. I hated you for that. You always kept your grace about you and there was no way I could keep up with that. I just spent so much time wishing I had half the strength you did but what I should have see was that you were my strength.

I am not as confident as you think I am. The way I see it is if I am the loudest person in the room people will remember me as that and will never see who I really am. I am afraid of life and all that comes with it and with you it was you love that I feared the most. How or why could anyone love me like you did? There was never anything that I did in my life to really deserve a love like yours, so how did I get it? There were moments where I would watch you go though your daily routine and ask myself these questions over and over again until I drove myself so crazy I would pick a fight just because I needed to be mad at something. You were just too good, too sweet and too perfect to really be mine. Now all I want is for you to see that I am becoming that confident person you need me to be.

There is no memories in my head more clear then ours David, and they live and replay every where I go. From that first night to our very last one together and I know that one day I will move on like you have, but until then you will always be my one true love.

Forever Yours,

Rene
