“It’s been very difficult to exist in a world without you in it. But today, on your birthday, I am committed to thinking of our happiest times together.” ❤️

“The memories we made and hold on to shall serve as a reminder for how blessed we were to have David in our lives.”

If tomorrow I didn't wake up just thinks that I have fallen asleep. Think that in the peace of my dream, I dream of you and I have not left. Listen to my music, read my books, wear my clothes, have my drink and drink my wine. Do not remember me absent do not look for me in oblivion, look for me inside you I'll be there with you

This week has reminded me that we need to remember the people who need to be remembered now. We need to love those we love now: do so intensely, honestly and openly. We need to allow missing someone to move us to meet. Make the call, have the coffee, spend the time, catch the plane- all you will ever have is right here and right now, and it’s the perfect time to love. All you have is now, cherish every single moment. ❤️ my Dearest David, two years gone by, and ever closer in my heart. I love you ❤️

I'd like to think that I'm going to see you. Where, or in what season or circumstance. Today, tomorrow, in a few years or in some other life. I do not know if being children, young or old; in the form of people, of water and stone, flower and earth or rain and sky. Just to think that I'm going to see you somehow; Sometime when our destinations coincide again. I only think about that. That I'm going to see you, again.❤

Two years today and time flies fast. Life goes out at its own pace. But some memories can never be forgotten or erased from the mind of the dearest ones. You will always remain in our thoughts! 🙏🕯❤️

Don't you know how hard it is for me To smile and say goodbye It's not that easy no It's not that easy what am I meant to do without your love, your love What am I meant to do without your love

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw your pic (I can never look away) I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you (Things will never be the same) I've been sleepin' so long in a fifty-year dark night (Now I'm wide awake) And now I see dead life I only see dead life Dead life And I can still see it all (in my mind) All of you, all of me (intertwined) I once believed love would be (black and white) But it's golden (golden) And I can still see it all (in my head) Back and forth from the West End (sneakin' in your bed) I once believed love would be forever But it's over Like dead life Like dead life Like dead life Dead life

How to explain to the conscience that this was not my fault? How to tell my heart that you won't come back. Let my eyes that they'll never see you again. How can I explain to my mouth that you will not kiss me anymore? And it's not like I'm dying because I don't have your kisses. But living without them it's like living without a reason. And if you knew how the process of forgetting your body hurt me, It did destroy my heart into pieces. I need to start believing a little bit more now, as you left me and it felt like a punishment. I may be another crazy man who does not understand, all I did was give you love, and now the pain is so strong. It felt like a terrible coldness that I don't know how to explain it. I felt invisible with you, you loved me and felt it. But now you had gone, at the best time in my life, I wish there was one more chance... To show that our love was a true one...

Death Changes Everything. Times Changes Nothing. I still miss the sound of your voice, the wisdom in your advice, the stories of your life and just being in your presence. So no, time changes nothing. I still miss you just as much today as I did the day you died. I just miss you.

David, the best part of me was you. Lately, every is making sense too. Baby I'm still in love with you. ❤

And now that you're leaving Take my whole life I do not know where you'll go But I understand that you will have to leave And now that you're leaving Remember that love waits And even if you do not come back anymore I promise not to forget you How to forget about you

The Roses cry, The dew has converted into tears You've gone from me, I've lost you The Roses cry. And my soul cries, Goes moaning with trimmed wings, You've gone from me, I've lost you My soul cries. Tears, that drown my heart Tears, words of the soul Tears, my mute language of love. The Roses cry, Because I can't be without you They cry jealous Cause you won't be with me And among other things I cry for you.

First of May will always be a special day in my life. I met David on the 1st of May in 2005. Two years later we both agreed to celebrate our partnership on the same day we met, 1st May... to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part. Still loved, still missed and very dear. ❤️

My Right To Mourn How can I tell my heart that you have gone away I want to make things right But don’t know what to say I am lonely and sad I cannot believe you have gone But others tell me to get over it They say I must move on But they don’t know how I feel They would not know where to start One minute I was happy Then my world was ripped apart Yes I need to mourn And to do it my own way To listen to my heart And not what others say Yes there will be dark times Yes I will be sad It will hurt me for a while when I remember what we had But time will heal my heart Time will ease my sorrow It may not be today, It may not be tomorrow Yes there will be tears I may scream and shout I can’t lock the pain away, I have to let it out True friends will stick by me Others may walk away True friends will hold my hand and listen to what I have to say Its my right to mourn And to learn to deal with grief Its not what you see on the outside But the way I fell underneath

With Every Goodbye After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love does not always mean security. And you learn that kisses aren't contracts. And presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes open, With the grace of a woman or a man, Not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all of your roads on today, Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain, And futures have a way of falling in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns If you ask too much, So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, That you really are strong, And that you have real worth. And you learn, and you learn... With every goodbye, you learn.

I was so lucky to meet David last autumn. It was a great privilege to see Gustavo and David together: in truth a moving and unforgettable experience. It was uplifting to be a bystander to such limitless devotion. Above all it was do clear that David must have been a fine and wonderful person to inspire such kindness and true love.

David was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. It was both a pleasure and a privilege to have known him. May he rest in peace. John, Gordon and Dennis

David and I were in the hands of a clock always together, but often apart meeting in the middle at two points in the day. The middle of the clock always joined our constant. We could be separate but together. He could be 5 pm and I, 7:45 pm. Opposite sides of the dials. He allowed me to be, I allowed him his privacy, his ways. We provided security and love most of all a deep friendship and that which I nursed him during his final moments. His last goodbye was beautiful, poignant, the music filled the pauses. I feel we had a special, blessed ending a finale now I will plan his wishes. It’s not as easy to start with the unexpected journey without him, in my heart I knew this day might come. David is it up is at peace and I am at peace with David. London was his home, his life, he was a true Londoner, sometimes quiet, considered, the opposite of my Latin spirit. He had intrigue and mystery. I never fully could read his mind which is a nice gift to have in any relationship. He was generous of wallet and spirit, his dining hospitality was legendary. He was an introvert comfortable in his own skin. He was so alluring and had a magnetism which you would call gentlemanly.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to David . We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

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.
