If you are a friend and you are reading this now, know that I love you. In some way I love you all. I have made a family of you. My brothers and sisters and children. There will never come to pass, even in the tiniest increment when my love will faultier. It is a caring and a bit of acceptance in this sad world. When you feel all hope drain from your body and your eyes are red from so many tears, don't think that no one loves or cares. Remember me and remember my love for you.
Rape and steal, and I'll still love you. Bring a person inches from death, and I'll still love you. Kill me and I'll still love you. Because you have touched me in a way that has influenced my entire life. Shown me something that I will remember always. Nothing you can do can take my love for you. Very few are reading this. You lucky ones must take my message and share it with your loved ones. Love above all else. There is no single thin that can stop the force of love. Nor hundred score that can. I am not so much a cynic to deny love as the most powerful thing on this existence. And if you have any doubt to my words, look into my eyes. The next time we see each other see the understanding. Past all the petty hardships a and saddening knowledge, ignore the still warm tears that stream down my face and see love. As it is in all things.
Perhaps you are not friend of mine, or at least so you think. Perhaps you are an enemy of mine that is friends with one I love. Perhaps you are someone who said you hated me so I reciprocated. Or more unlikely still, you are a friend who does not know I love them. Well, you're a fool. The lot of you. Do not make the mistake of thinking that I do not have a grasp of something so vast and infinite that I cannot reserve any for you. The more-or-less equally deserving. You, as well, have shaped my world.
You are my mirrors. When I look at myself I see the most beautiful individual. You are my mirrors.
And to think I ask for nothing in return. No, no. You have long since paid your due. May you reap all the joy and prosperity in which you sew.
With ALL my love and heart,
Ray T. Torve
