• Your smile is one that goes on for miles. Your eyes shine like the brightest star in the night sky. When I see the first message you send me in the morning it lights up my day. When our lips touch I feel like I'm the luckiest guy alive. When I hold you in my arms I feel as if time freezes and nothing can tear us apart. You constantly make me smile and there's never a moment that goes by that I don't think of you. You mean the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without you in my life. I truly love you!

  Richard M. Ryan

  Morning, Stars, Love You

It was only later I found out it was a national phenomenon.

  Death row...what a brother know.

  Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
  But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun.
