i think sometimes we would all like to delude ourselves into thinking that we can less about a person than we actually do for fear of the consequence of knowing just how much they affect you. but if they are the first person you turn to when you are scared and unsure, if they are the person you turn to when you need support, if only they can make you smile and laugh when you are feeling down, when their attempt to cheer you up were lame and yet you still feel 100% times better, when one word of advice and or chiding from them gives you the energy to go on then it's probably safe to say that you like them more than you would like to admit. when you do find that person, don't be afraid to latch onto them like a rock. because the support and strength you get from them is worth the fear. and if they take the time out to indulge you in your little whims and whines, then just maybe they like you more than they'd like to admit too.
