full of life. I imagine the face of beauty and I see one. One. Pale, yet dark. Innocent, yet devious. Countless hours spent lying in darkness. Unspeakable amounts of time spent together in thoughts. One. Intelligent, passionate, delightful. Child-like in a world of grey and black adults. One.

Goodly, dependable. A listener when none else will do. Understanding, giving. Years of companionship, through trial, through mirth. Reason, balance. Friend.

Quiet. Advisor when wisdom fails. Experience, compassion. Always something that makes all pains ease. Everything will be all right. Friend.

Dark. Fierce and powerful. Pragmatism laced with wisdom. Experienced in heart. Experienced in pain. I can share your pain, tell me. Friend.
