( You ask him for words again... very evil of you... No, but he seems to like the challenge - it's a little like a puzzle. Hmmmm!!! )

Mmm . . . When I call someone friend, I guess I mean that they're someone who's moved my heart, and I'll remember them no matter how many years pass. I might not remember everything, but - I think the spirit of the thing, the gist of it, I'll always keep close. Because I've swallowed them into the beat of my heart.

But, I don't know. Maybe, for you, it's a little bit less than that. Someone you remember until you die?

( Recollection-centric seems to be the pattern, at least. )
