It's different now. I care about you, but in a completely new way. I don't want you to get hurt. I want to be there when you are. You're slowly starting to mean so much to me, and I'm scared. I told myself I'd never feel like this about anyone. But here you are. You've broken down my walls without even trying. All you did was sit silently outside my defenses and listened when I talked. So I let you in. You just get me. Somehow I know that we'll be friends in the future. A lot of people have broken our hearts. So just once, I think that I might have found a constant. You for me, and me for you. We'll be together, wherever we go. As friends or lovers or strangers in another dimension– we won't let go.
