On the four-year anniversary of Cory Monteith’s death, Lea Michele tweeted an old photo of herself and the late actor.

The Calgary-born star died of a drug overdose in 2013 in Vancouver, B.C. at the age of 31.

“Hard to believe it’s been 4 years… We miss you C… love you more,” her tweet read. A black-and-white Polaroid photo of the couple was attached to the tweet.

After meeting on the Glee set in 2009, Michele and Monteith started dating in 2012, a mere year before his death. The two were inseparable, travelling around the world together and even planning their future and a family.
