A fraternal questionnaire

How do you tell someone that they mean the world to you?

How do you tell them that you feel comfortable when they are around? Even if you don't say so?

That the world seems a much better place when they put in an appearance?

That you can talk to them of just about anything without feeling self-conscious? (except this, of course)

That you want them to know whenever something good happens to you, because you know they care?

That you want them to notice you when you are annoyed or feeling depressed – because you want them to be concerned and cheer you up?

That you feel terribly possessive of them at times and feel just as terrible for feeling that way? (For, perhaps you have no right to be so.)

How do you tell someone all this, without appearing to be a sentimental idiot, a horribly jealous blighter or an emotional moron?

How do you tell someone that he or she is your best friend? And that the appointment comes with no medals or decorations but just a lot of headaches because you are going to bug him or her at the first excuse?

Do you need to tell them at all? (heck, if not, then how on earth will they know?)

Let me know if you have the answers.
