Attempt 1 to describe my friend



insanely artistic...

not the type of artistic that insinuates ‘bizarre’ or ‘special’ but the kind that only come around once in a while. The kind that makes you step back in awe. Kevin is an artist. Not like OCD me who must duplicate every insignificant detail of a photo onto paper, Kevin sees beauty and colour and light in his mind and transfers that onto any surface. That’s a true artist. It’s a talent I’ve always envied him for, seeing the world interperpectively and having the acute ability to express it to others however he wants. I realise I just made up the word ‘interperspectively’ and that it might be a slightly redundant compound, but I want to use it none the less.
Kevin and I have already decided that we’re going to have children. And they’re going to be hot.
I love names. And so does Kevin. And that’s probably why we’re friends.

Months can pass and Kevin and I can still function as if we’ve just seen each other without any second thought to why it took so long in the first place. I like that. Not that I like being apart, but knowing that nothing will falter or fade or weaken or break because of time.
Witty.
Kevin is witty.
I like witty. And that’s probably why we’re friends.
I’ve known Kevin since the first grade and I remember everything that made him who he was then and like to contrast it to everything he is now.
We lived on the same straight, opposite sides from each other. I think that’s fate.
And I think fate is why we’re friends.

why must you do this? make me cry with words so underserved? i love you esparza. you are my sun and my moon.

(p.s. i almost used the word 'underserving' instead of 'undeserved' which wouldnt make much sense unless i felt the words you used to describe me were undeserverving of being used to describe me. which would be the opposite intent of the sentence. just fyi. and why is this explanation longer than my thank you? UGHHHHHHH you are too much. love you.)
