V.'s been my best friend longer than anyone else. He and I have been through a lot together and have seen each other at our very best and our very worst. Apart from my immediate family (L., parents, my sister), he is the only other person that I would trust to have my best interest at heart, with no ulterior motive, and because of that, he is the only--and I mean the only--other person other, than said immediate family (including the kid and K., of course) that I love. Given my almost feudal tendencies when it comes to love and people, that's saying a helluva lot.
I suppose, given the law of probabilities, not to mention the twists and turns of life and etc. , it is quite possible that we will not be best friends until the end of days. I don't think, if that were to come to pass, that I would ever have another best friend like him, even if I did go on to have others.
