No words will amount to the loss of John, nor will they adequately represent quite how much I adored him.
Not often in life do we come across people as special as him, in fact I’m yet to. John’s charisma and spirit was something so precious and I will forever remember him as someone with a glint in his eye who genuinely loved, and lived, life.
“Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.”
Rest in peace John.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
