Yet another year is uPon us (;D), and I still find myself wondering just how I was so blessed to find you. In all this time I've lost, but I never lost you. You have no idea how stricken I was when I felt it came close to that though. You have no idea how you better my days and hold me up, because like the stars, it is too infinite to measure. Through every dawn and every dusk, my expectations were nulled and hopes sent to soar, all because you're still here. In no way are you replaceable, in no way can I just find another person to do all you have for me. Even if you haven't seen everything you do, know that it will always matter. Things went rough in those months, but I don't think bad of you. With every experience is a lesson to be taught and used, so use yours well. A mask is just another part of oneself after all, and those parts are more than their surfaces.
Like you, I didn't believe in a lot when it came to others. A trait we share seemed to dissolve itself, and how funny is that? Thank you for proving me wrong, and continuing to guide me away from my fears and burning away the scars. While I still harbor those fears, they feel less justified by now. I didn't want to change, but you changed me for the better. I didn't want to hope, nor feel, nor care, but you managed to break into my chest and destroy what the remains of dashed hope had constructed. In its place is a new tower that I hold on to, fearing its collapse, but telling myself it won't with every day I spend with you. Please never honor my fears, as I will never honor yours. Believe in myself and yours in the light that holds us up and fades the past to brighten us underneath. I cannot thank you enough for everything, nor express my terror when I felt my everything in you would be ripped away from me. Thank you for being here. Thank you for staying. Thank you for being you. Thank you for justifying my words when I can say "I have a best friend." In every moment that I lifted you up, you taught me to not only fly once again, but to soar. Thank you, for being my wish upon a glittering star.
May we always be with one another. Distances apart are shorted when the same stars light up our shared world, so always look to the stars.

You rolled your eyes once again as Icha asked you about going to the forest. No, they can not become one with the leopards.
Icha enthusiastically brought you a wildebeest liver as a treat! Too bad it's your least-favorite food. Ah well, she doesn't have to know that.
