Girl, you're the most solid person I know.

Though by convention I can't call you my rock,

Know that you are. 

You'd never tell anyone my secrets,

even if they paid you.

We'll never fall in love.

Fate has rejected the idea.

But I love you,

and I'll never forget the moment

you said you loved me.

Of course you said it first, 

and it took me a few months 

to say it back.

It wasn't easy for me

to say I love you.

I've always meant it, though.

And I always will.

Even if we don't stay close

it will comfort me to know 

that someone like you exists.

It comforts me now.

Love you gurr.
