Why would this memory come back so strongly now?

Darkside and I were sitting on the beat-up couch-bench outside the computer lab, waiting for Votania. There was a moment where our eyes met, and we both knew how very much we wanted to kiss.

We both turned away. "It would break her heart," I said, and he agreed with me, and we didn't touch.

I learned more than I can ever say from you two dating.

I learned that just because two of my friends had a bond that didn't include me, that I was still not shut out.

I learned that I could love someone and bear not to touch them.

If not for the difficult lessons I learned in that time, I don't know if I would have become a person who could love him as he needs to be loved.

Your being together did more to cure me of all the damage that Shawn did in getting together with Christel than I think you know.

If ever I begin to doubt just how much you care about me, I think back to that time and know that, if anything, we've gotten closer. I would have had a hard time getting through these past few months without that knowledge.
