Friendship day paragraph

I wrote this as a thank you to my best friend of 5 years. He deals with a lot, not just from me, but he will drop anything for me if I need him. I know I’m not always the easiest person to deal with but he never fails to help me. These words do not even begin to scratch the surface of the gratitude I have that he is in my life. I hope you all have someone in you life like him because I truly wouldn’t be here without him. Please tell your friends they are important to you and that you love…

Patricia Ann, my gentle friend, you have my heart and I love you. I'm not living in the past. I'm not looking back. I'm not trying to pick up where we left off, or start anything inappropriate. I want and need you in my life, my dear. I don't want to lose your friendship. I can't bear to lose you a second time. I never forgot you. I fell in love with you the day I met you. When I looked into your eyes and you smiled at me, you stole my heart. I melted, then and there, and my soul was yours…

I miss you my friend. I wrote you another letter tonight and tucked it safely away. Maybe one day you will want to read it. I'll keep waiting. I won't push you or bother you. I'll respect your wishes. But I won't give up on you or on our friendship. I just can't do that. I can't bear to lose you a second time.
