When you love someone, deep down, you know you'll always love them, no matter how they've changed their clothes, hair, style, sometimes personality. And even though communication is sparse and likens a sacred occasion that only happens every so often, you know that you'll always still love them.
And even if they've forgotten you, you still love them. I've realized that

“Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance."

It's not love if you're unwilling to love someone for everything that they are. Love is never selfish. If you stop loving because they've changed, then it isn't love. That's only selfish love because you're loving for yourself, not for them. Regardless of how much you've changed, I'll still be here. I may not be vocal about it, and you may think I've stopped showing it, but I am.
And even though everyone writes "friends forever" and "love you" now, well, when I wrote it, I meant it.
