Well today My ONE AND Only succumbed to that mental illness. I wish more than anything that I didn’t have to write this post. Royal was my everything, my happiness, [and] my not so happiness. We had many rough times and many, many great times. He was literally my crazy love. I am just processing the news and I’m not ignoring anyone and I will update you as I can. Please keep us in your thoughts.

I will love you forever and always till my last breath and I will never fall in love again. You were the only one meant for me, and I’m sorry baby I’m so sorry for heated words, and petty arguments I take it all back just come back please I need you, I love you, I want you back . Please tell me he will go to heaven. I need him to, to see him again. I wish he knew when he died, I would die too.
