One of the oldest depressing_thoughts in the book ...
Someone I knew previously with only intermittent hints of potential
closeness has become, in just one tumultuous month, *very* special to me.
By letting me help her through some real crises of doubt -- about her
self-image, her future, her myriad wonderful qualities which she
unthinkably lost sight of -- and then by shining her renewed radiance of
self/mind/spirit back on me, she has redefined my life, it seems. Not in
the form of romance, but something very ... connected; something amazingly
mutual. The word `friendship' is entirely inadequate.
And she's leaving for California in three weeks, according to plans made
much earlier.
The void begins to make itself felt even now.

I still wouldn't trade this last month for anything.
