My dearest friend, did I inhabit your heart? Did you exhibit it with every lingering gaze you sent my way? I remember your eyes catching every word that I uttered as if it were a precious jewel. But look at how I’ve treated you. I let our love never start at all because I was afraid to face my own heart. One day, I thought I’ll say it aloud. I thought of you in the long term but this world disagreed. I never told you…and now I never will. I love you. Now, I am left to lament all we could’ve been and I stand here mourning a best friend.

– Forever yours, Randall
