Back in the days of instant messenger, there was a girl I'd talk to for hours. We just connected in a way that we always had more to say to each other, about everything.

I'd say something in parentheses, and she'd respond in parentheses, and sometimes we'd end up holding two entirely different conversations at once.

I don't have a lot of regrets in my life, but some of them involve her.

I've done this face to face with a friend ONCE and it was the best conversation I ever had. I'll never be able to replicate that high.
