His eyes glinted with genuine admiration whenever I was in his presence.
My heart filled with joy and my soul felt light whenever he was in mine.
Every moment we shared exuberating and filled with a lust for life.
There was a natural ease when we were together...
Conversation flowed as easily as champagne on New Year’s Eve;
Any silence devoid of awkwardness;
And oh how that man could make me laugh!
Watching the sun set over the Hudson River, walking the boardwalk down the shore, dancing in the middle of the street, admiring the night sky, cooking together, car rides home holding hands, even just lying in bed listening to music, I felt completely at peace.
A sense of comfort I had never known.
I’ll always cherish the time I had with him.
He made me a better woman.
