Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[L Verge]

Decades later, Isaac Cogdal asked Lincoln about Anne Rutledge. Lincoln's response was:

"I loved the woman dearly & sacredly: she was a handsome girl — would have made a good loving wife — was natural & quite intellectual, though not highly Educated — I did honestly — & truly love the girl & think often — often of her now."

A lost love never dies! It never happened. When you die, both are dead.

I think you lost me on that one, David... But, it sounds like you have had such an experience.
