I had never before had anyone cry for me, which is why I reacted the way I did. The text you sent me (on that stupid holiday that I was convinced I no longer pertained to) touched me in a way that I will never forget for as along as I live. Life was shit, but the people in it were not. And while the rest of the world eventually moved on, you were the single person willing to wait. You have been so patient. And that has been the most important thing anyone has ever done for me.
