[ WP ] Write the letter that you always wanted to , but never did .

Dear Matt: 
 
 You and I come from such different worlds. We have such different life experiences. And, while I'm difficult and unhinged, your emotional range is a bit narrow. You're steady and reliable; I'm unstable and erratic. You're quite brilliant but undereducated; I'm not as smart but overeducated. At least I'm not a prude anymore -- you were never a prude. 
 
 But I've always loved you. Not quite in a romantic way -- but not in an unromantic way either. A liminal love. I ca n't ever see you and I together, but I'm just so thankful I've known you all these years and so sorry that I disappear and go no-contact for long periods of time. And I'm so grateful you never give up on me. It makes me feel grounded that you are always there, however unexpressive. You always reach out. You always try to find me. You never judge me ( to my face anyway ). I'm not sure you understand me ( who could?! ), but you do n't find me intolerable ( which is what I find myself often times ). 
 
 Thank you for your steadiness and your care. Thanks for being my dear friend for so many years.
