First off - you've been on my brain all day and I just don't have the balls to call and tell you this so a blog entry is the best I can do.
You do mean more to me than "that" and to say that you mean more to me than that at one time would be totally incorrect because you mean more to me than "that" now! You are so incredibly valuable to me. I'm entirely sure how you could have gotten any other impression, but it doesn't matter because it's the wrong one!
You matter to me! You are perhaps the only stable person in my life right now. You are my rock! I hope to keep you as a life long friend, I just imagined that you'd always be a part of my life and I never really questioned your permanency. I don't intend to do that now either.
If you were hurt because I left out a lot of the stuff we do together, don't be! I left it out because it doesn't need to be examined and reviewed - the stuff we do together is sacred.
