By Kellie Powell
Kim confesses to her friend (and sometimes-lover) Shane, that she has been in love with him for several years.
KIM:
I wanted those moments - few and far between as they were... I wanted whatever time and affection you could give me. No matter what it cost me. I felt like you found comfort in me. And maybe I wasn't your first choice, you know? But I was glad that I was somewhere on the list. I let it happen again and again, more times than I can even count.
You wanted to keep things casual, you wanted to keep me at arm's length. It didn't matter. I love you anyway. I've seen the best and the worst of you... and I love you. I love your kindness, and your strength. I love the way you can tell me what I'm thinking. I love the way you tell a story, drawing me in. I love you for all the times you convinced me, with a stupid joke, or even just a look... to stop taking myself so seriously and just enjoy my life. Nothing could ever make me regret the way I feel about you. What I feel for you isn't a negative thing. It makes me better, it makes my life better. That's what I've been trying to say: That love is never wrong.
