You are the apple...






It's only been thirteen and a half months, but it feels like I've known this girl for years. She's my best friend and we've never even met. Videos and pictures have been passed to each other, so I know she's 100% real and I 100% love her. We're halfway around the world from each other, but yet sometimes I feel we couldn't be any closer on the inside...

Not to get all mushy and crap, but yeah, it's an amazing feeling to love someone so much. Every moment I'm talking to her, it makes me smile. She's random, hilarious, honest, and amazing. It's not often I see her upset, as she tends to try hide those feelings so that I'm happy (slightly ironic, circular thought there), but when I do get to see that side of her, I'd do anything to make her happy again. All I ever want is to see a smile on her face, even through all the pain and tears.

Even now, just thinking about the things she's been through, the suicidal thoughts and multiple attempts, the loss of friends and family, through betrayal or otherwise, it brings tears to my eyes and a constricting feeling in my chest. Her pain is my pain, and through some masochistic need, I ask for every moment of her pain, because I want the chance to make her happy, which is, as I said before, all I want for her.

She once told me a story. It was the middle of the night and she had packed up weights and rope in a bag. She left a note to her brother on his pillow, saying goodbye. She intended to jump off a bridge near her house. Her first step out the door, her phone goes off. For reasons unbeknownst to her, she checked it. It was me. I have no clue what I said, but one look at a message from me and she stopped, sat down on her front porch, and just cried, talking to me all the while. I saved her life that night and had no clue until she told me about three months later.

Moments like these, to know that I have made such an impact on her life, it amazes me. I'm just some kid who spends way too much time on my computer, yet I've made so much difference in the life of someone half way around the world. It's almost impossible to comprehend. Yet, I'd never want to forget it.

I love her and just the thought of losing her is too much to bear. I've said it a million times before, but I'll keep saying it until my dying breath: I love you, Erica.


^This was a long winded rant and really just everything that was on my mind that I couldnt say elsewhere. There really is no point to this thread, other than for me to just express all this to someone, anyone. Say what you wish in this thread, I just wanted to get this all out of my head.

And for clarification, the relationship between her and I is not romantic, but merely the strongest and closest friendship I've ever experienced, and I love every moment.

They say you waste time asleep...


Rant, you say? My friend, this was a rather uplifting and inspiring post. I, for one, can't say I've had the same type of connection with another person before. I've had very close friends whom I easily empathize and relate to, and occasionally feel their pain as they do, but never like you described. I'm really happy for you. I wish everyone, including myself, could have the same kind of experience as you.


...but I'm just tryna dream.

Thanks, mate. I have a few other friends who, like you, I can easily empathize with, and they are some of my best friends as well. But Erica is on a whole different level. Sometimes I've wondered if my feelings for her are romantic, but then I try to picture her and I together and it just seems almost... alien.

Sounds like a real winner. <3
I don't know what advice to give you. You sound like a beautiful couple who don't let distance get in the way of your relationship. You sound like a great guy, and the best thing you can do for her right now is to keep being there for her and loving her the way you do.

I wish you both the best of luck.

Not sure if you misread or what, but we aren't actually a couple, just extremely close friends. None the less, thanks for the kind words = )

How old are you? And no, it's not to call you an emo teen or something.

Well I guess, it doesn't matter if you answer that.

Anyway, depending on where she is, if you're in a college, chances are there are study abroad programs you could look at that would take her to at least her country.

If not in a university, its even easier cause there is nothing academic weighing you down. There are teaching jobs that will teach you and pay you to go to these countries.

Its really not that hard to travel, it just requires research and planning.

I don't see why you guys couldn't start at least visiting each other.... Unless she's like 12 or something... Then I'll be angry.

Hmm, I've never thought about that. Could be a possibility. She'd have to make an excuse to visit me though as her parents don't even know about me = P

And she's 17, almost 18 lol

As long as there's communication between two people, you can always impact somebody else's life. I think it's a wonderful relationship that's definitely worth fighting for to keep. 3nodding

Just some more various thoughts that are bouncing around in my head tonight...

I find it odd in a way, I often liken our relationship to that of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Like brother and sister in canon, yet so many people feel they should be a couple (myself included). Erica and I are the same. We're like brother and sister, but our friends often think we'd be a great couple. To quote one of her friends as Erica was talking about different things we've been through to her, "Those are the things married couples often look back on and laugh."

Tonight, the idea of addiction has been on my mind. Is it possible to be addicted to someone's presence? I'm always so happy to be talking to her and then when one of us has to go that feeling still lingers, but as soon as it's gone, I find myself almost begging for our next interaction. Like it couldn't come any slower. Such as right now, she's asleep at the moment and literally, at this very moment, my body feels like...like its pushing against time. There is literally a feeling inside me of advancement, like my body wants to move forward, not physically, but in time. All because I just want to know her presence again...

I don't mind waiting at all; I'll wait as long as I have to, but at the same time, it's agony.

Awww I'm sorry for making you cry *epic hugs*

I fully plan on living there for a year with her after college or whenever. And as soon as she moves out, the following summer I'm gonna visit as well. She may have to pay for some of the stuff that time, depending on my financial situation at the time, but she doesnt mind at all. She's actually figuring my presence in when she ever moves out and gets a place of her own. It's to a point where it's not if it happens, it's when... = ) I can't wait for the day I walk off the plane and into the London airport and see her in person = )
