To my friends I love and don't talk to much

As the title suggests, I love you.

My past is with me always. Even when I shudder at your choices in the moment, I love you then and now and later.

My present emerges from before. My past, you, are always at my shoulder. I loved you then and now and always.

Our differences are in scale, not in scope.

My future only exists with you. You define and categorize who I am. At times you infuriate me. At times I shake my head. At times I must accept I do the same to you.

My always exists with you. You are a foundation, a pillar, a touchstone. You are a piece of the forever me. You are a reminder of who I ought to be.

Please let me be that thing for you as well.
