We first met when we were seven, so it's already been twenty years. I didn't know back then. I didn't know I had alexithymia, or that I was a little different from others. I only realized it after starting elementary school. I noticed the other kids thought I was strange and began to avoid me one by one. But you were the only one who always stayed by my side. Even when I was bullied in middle school, even when I was hurting from being hit, you were always the one who protected me. At first, I couldn't understand why you cared for me so much. Still, I didn't dislike having you near me. It was strange. Watching you smile made my heart race for no reason, and seeing you struggle made my heart ache as if it were being squeezed. I didn't know what those feelings were at first. But as the time we spent together piled up, I gradually came to understand. I was worried about you; when you were happy, I was happy, and when you were in pain, I felt it too. That's how I learned to communicate with others through you, and I learned one by one what the emotions I felt were called. As you showed me the world, my black-and-white world slowly began to find its color. And at some point, I realized. You aren't just a friend to me; you are my entire world. I'm still clumsy at expressing my emotions, and sometimes I don't know how to convey my heart. But I know one thing for certain. I love you. Now, and forever. Always.
