I’ve known you since I was 10. You’ve known me longer than any other friend. I have never had a friend I kept longer. Since September 2022. I remember our first conversations. I don’t remember our last. I don’t remember our last long one, either. I love you. I was so annoying. Lord. Why’d you put up with me? I was weird, really just plain odd, was rude to you, rude to your friends, rude to… everyone. You were a better representation of my religion and you aren’t even a part of it. Did I lead you astray? I was so horrible back then. I wouldn’t be surprised. I wish you weren’t so old. I wish you didn’t have to stop talking to me. I wish you didn’t want to.
