Complicated, huh? You know, that's sometimes the best kind of friendship. Those do affect you in ways you probably wouldn't even be able to think of.

I'm not going to tell you what you should do, but if it were me, I think I'd be scared of the kind of person I'd turn out to be if I forgot someone like that to me.

[And ironically, he knows what he's talking about without even knowing it himself.]

It hurts every day when I think of the people I've lost in my life, but I don't want to ever forget them because I wouldn't want to be forgotten either.
