Our bond was so strong, “I love you” didn’t quite encapsulate it, so we made up a word, just for us, to express our feelings for each other. And you know what they say about finding love; you won’t find it until you love yourself. You taught me how to enjoy sex and how to be in a mature relationship, even though we weren’t in one. After I finally gave up on turning you into boyfriend material and settled for sex, I felt like such an adult. B, you gave me the heart-wrenching love everyone deserves to feel at some point in their lives.
