I kissed a boy - and I liked it!
This is an ode to a friend.
Dear Stephan,
first things first - I love you. Not keen on having sex though ;-) I love you for being you. You taught me a lot of things. Among all of the things I have learned from you, is how to truly and utterly forgive.
A few people know that I have disappointed you deeply (and that's the friendly version) - back in the days. I abandoned you on top of that. And then, after almost 20 years, I realised that I was the asshole here and asked him to forgive me.
His answer was as simple as, and literally, a kiss.
I still remember how surprised I was, but at the same time relieved from all my guilt. I started crying the same second. You saved us endless hours of talking and started building our new friendship. Can't thank you enough for that.
And now, almost 3 years after, you were, and still are, the most authentic and therefore utmost trustworthy person I've known. Thank you for your friendship. I can see, and feel, you really mean it!
As yet you haven't missed a chance to show evidence how genuine and reliable you are. You've got my back bro, but aye, your's is also covered. And guess who?
I hope you see the love I am giving you and that you can trust and rely on me, too. Anytime.
I'll be there.
Sebastian
