Dear Anon,
We've always been able to be comfortably quiet with each other. It's rare, that ability. And it's nice. But it's not often that we talk one-on-one, whether it be serious or just a chat. Mostly it's just that we don't have that kind of time together; others are much more demanding of our attention and commandeering of the conversation. Today we talked for hours. On-and-off, occasionally bringing in others, randomly swapping topics and often running into our comfortable silences, but it was us. We were able to focus on each other today, and that was wonderful. Was today the first time this has really happened? As we've known each other for six years, it seems unbelievable. But we've always been the passive ones, haven't we? We've always let the others take the spotlight, let them be our focal point in our interactions. Even when we had short times of just us, we were either quiet together or quickly drawn back into the whirlwind of our boisterous friends. I'm almost sad that it took this long, but I can't be sad when I'm this content with life.
It's not an obvious thing, but we complement each other. To be so at ease in each others' presence for such a long time, completely out of the blue- that's incredible. I can think of no-one else I interact with as I do with you.
As I reaffirm every time you insist I do, I love you.
