His girlfriend read this poem in honour of Mr Boyd. I love the way we could share our passions together and were inseparable. I love the way you make me laugh constantly day in and day out. I love the way you based your entire life around me and I did the exactly the same. I love the way your smile is so beautiful and perfect and makes me feel so happy. I loved the way we were soul mates and knew it from day one. Most of all I love you for the person you are, my soul mate and my best friend and my entire life.
