The two friends I love most won't tell me they love me.
The older signs her cards, "✌️and ❤️", and I know what she means.
The younger jokes she doesn't tell even her siblings that she loves them, signing her xmas cards, "Regards".
But I know they love me.
It's the time they commit, the attention they pay, the jokes they share, the troubles they turn to me for help with.
