even on my darkest days you're there to shed light, one even more attractive than the one he sees during his dying breath. i don't love you, i may never come to love you, but i do love you. not the kind of love where my heart beats in rhythm with yours, not the one where i want to get married and have kids, but the one where i cannot imagine going through a good day or a bad day without you. with you i want to rejoice and to suffer; less serious, but just as meaningful.
thank you for being such a great friend. you know who you are.
"The consolations of Religion, my beloved, can alone support you; and these you have a right to enjoy. Fly to the bosom of your God and be comforted. With my last idea; I shall cherish the sweet hope of meeting you in a better world."
