I've been feeling quite lonley lately. Realizing that the boy I want to love me has no feelings for me. The typical boy girl story in my life. My friends tell me that I need to be brave and to let him know how I feel, but I'm not sure I would win at the game.

But the thing is, Fish, you made me feel less alone. Perhaps you've been accepted by more men than I have been, and perhaps you have more true friends than I have... I have no Ben to let me know he loves me... but you made me realize that I'm not alone in feeling the way I do. And your fellow readers helped me out as well.

Thanks to you all. From the moon and back. Perhaps I'll say that to someone today... even though I think it would help if I heard it myself.

I’ve never commented, but had to with this post. Your writing is so evocative. I wish I was still young enough to ask ‘How much do you love me?’ and naive enough to trust the answer. Thank you for your writing…

Every once in a while I ask my best friend Ed, "Do you still love me?"

And he says, "Always."

Every so often, he puts the Van Morrison song "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" on the jukebox and holds my hands.

And once, recently, I said, "Do you think we're drifting apart?"

And he said, "No."

We've been like this for 15 years now. Never mind that he is married and I was married before I fell in love with a woman and lost her and was left with friends like Ed to sustain me.

I love you, Ed, Ben.

i just loved this line: "What do I mean to you? It’s not something we’re cool about asking each other." i read it thinking you were referring to someone specifically, and i like very much how i'm still not 100% sure whether you were or not. if it was a direct question, i hope you get your answer.
