Tom.  My heart explodes for this boy.  I fell in love with him when I was eleven years old and to this day words can't express how much I care about him.
To outsiders, it looks like I have this huge crush on him, but those who know us understand that we have a crazy relationship past the point of attraction or any of that nonsense.  We are the most genuine kind of friends, and I don't think I'll ever have a friendship as meaningful as this one.  He makes me say mushy stuff like this.
But really, he's an incredible man.  I finally got a chance to call him and catch up, and we talked for the longest time about the many memories we've shared over the past nine years.
Sometimes I just need to say how much I love him.
