August 17 Another installment in an occasional series. As in the earlier ones, these comments are addressed to ten separate people, and are not intended to reflect the entire relationship I have with the person of whom I write. The earlier ones are here, here, and here.
First you, you show up in my thoughts often. Second you, you are gaining worldly things, but losing trust and friendship. I am sorry for your losses. Third you, you are someone I am enjoying getting to know. Fourth you, you are my chief confidante, and I treasure the freedom of speaking with you. Fifth you, you are mine now; I will protect you. Sixth you, you have my gratitude. Seventh you, you have become a pleasant surprise. Eighth you, your candor is serving you quite well. Ninth you, some days I don't know you at all. Tenth you, your values and mine differ, sometimes more than others. But I love you nonetheless.
