I need to write this because I need to.
I loved you more than I have ever loved anyone in my life - I didn't know I could feel so sure of myself, so much better about who I was until I saw you - got to know you -was with you. I have never felt so content just to be near someone, so in awe and warm and just happy like nothing could ever hurt me...
And now I feel like at any moment I could just give up, just die where I sit. I have never felt such bone deep agony, such soul shattering loss. You were my world, my reason for resisting the constant stress of my living situation, trapped in a tiny room, alone for weeks on end unless someone had time or pity to visit me. You kept me somewhat sane, you made me happy when I was sure I couldn't be... And if I never told you so, or made you feel that I took you for granted, I'm sorry.
No one will ever touch me as deeply as you did, and I already know I will never be the same, never be able to trust anyone as completely as I did you. After everyone else that had hollowed me out, took from me everything they could, you put me back together, made me think I could trust again and I'm sorry I never told you this.
My heart is broken - and I never understood just how truly horrific it could be, there aren't words to describe the emptiness, the hollow aching hole in my chest. They're just words until you've felt it, and then it takes on a whole new meaning, a numbness that won't leave - no matter where you are, or what you're doing.
As much as I want to leave things be and remember the good times... Everywhere I look are memories of you and how happy you made me, how much fun I thought we were having. But I guess you felt differently, you couldn't trust that I meant what I said, that I meant anything at all.
But I did. And every day for the rest of my life I'll see you in my mind, recall the friendship and love you gave me, the many times I needed someone to tell me not to go, that I was needed here, that I would indeed be more than a passing memory if I gave in and ended my life.
Now I just don't know what anything was. I don't know what was meant and what wasn't... But in my mind we never stopped being friends. I was willing to fight with you, to keep you on the phone when you needed to talk, even if you didn't think you needed to... To give you my honest opinion, because I know how much you hate bullshit... to fight on your behalf, speak up for you when you were being treated wrongly... to share freely everything I had to give from my late grandpa's photo bag to my last cent... to give you a place where you were the center of attention, where you could say what you wanted and do what you wanted without having to worry about anything.
And I want you to know, no matter what you think of me, no matter what happens to any of us, I love you, and I will always be here for you if you ever need anything -be it months, years, or decades from now - because you saved my life more times than I can count, and made my life better just for knowing you.
I say this from the bottom of my heart and soul, I can never thank you enough for letting me be a part of your life, even for a little while. I love you with all my being, and always will. And that goes for you too 'Bren'. <333
Ever humbled and in your debt,
Krys
