My Angel

On Friday, May 9th, 2008; my girlfriend, Sophie Rosslyn, lost her life to a drunk driver. Sophie was my sun and my stars. She was the light of my life and I will never, ever stop loving her. Everyone who was lucky enough to know Sophie can attest to the fact that she was one of the most compassionate, open-minded, accepting, and beautiful people on earth. Sophie was my angel and I believe that she still is in an even more literal sense.
We shared so much together; the good times and the bad. She stuck with me through so much and my love for her only grew as time flew by. My love for her will never stop growing. We laughed, we cried, we argued, we kissed, we hugged, and so much more during our relationship that was cut so terribly short by death. Some of you knew Sophie personally and are devastated by her death just like I am. Others did not have the opportunity to know her in person, but I often spoke of her and you came to know her through me.
I am unsure how I will live without my baby. As I said, she was everything to me. I can't imagine life without her gorgeous smile. I already miss the sound of her voice and her wonderful laughter. I miss her amazing eyes and her seemingly flawless face. Everything about Sophie was perfect in my eyes. I worshipped the ground she walked on.
Sophie was much more than just my girlfriend; she was my sweetheart, my "sister", my confidante, and my rescuer, but most of all...she was my best friend. I wish I could hold her one more time, but I can't. These past few days have been spent praying to God to let me see her again. I just want to see her one more time and tell her that I love her more than life itself.

We had so many good times together. I remember when she would stay at my house we would wake up in the middle of the night and eat chocolate ice cream in the kitchen until we got sleepy again. She laughed at most, if not all, of my jokes...no matter how bad they were. I bought her roses for Valentine's Day and she got me concert tickets. One time, when her family was having a garage sale, we didn't want our gay pride flag to get sold so we wrapped ourselves in it and started kissing.
I remember we would go skateboarding together just about every day and try to outdo each other in skate tricks. I had the privilege of playing in the same band with her. I was lead guitar and she was backup. We always had fun performing for people. Even though we'd been dating for over a year, I still tried to impress her. I did all kinds of crazy things to get her to look at me. I wanted her to be happy she was my girlfriend, I hope she was. Even though we argued sometimes, we never went to bed without saying sorry. Whether it be in person, over the phone, or on AIM. We always made up before saying goodbye.
Sophie was my angel and I will never forget her. I don't know how I'll live without her, but I pray to God that I will.

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one
For me

Sophie's death has left a gigantic hole in my heart that will never be filled. <3

Say you'll share with me one love
One lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me
Each night
Each morning

You alone can make my song take flight
It's over now
The music of the night

Goodbye, my angel...you were the only one for me.
