Dear Arthur,
Never will I forget you, I still remember the first day we met then 2weeks later we were a couple :) It is really horrifying knowing that you are gone but I guess I should be happy knowing your in a better place now. You dont have to worry or deal with this idiotic world of ours anymore. but its still so hard to let go and say goodbye to you. So I wont say goodbye so how about I just say, See You Later! Arthur I love you and never will you be forgotten :*
