I still think I love him more. It's one of those things you never know for certain because there's no way to enter all the relationship data in a computer and have it spit out a definitive answer. You can't quantify love, and if you try, you wind up focusing on misleading factors.

My relationship with my sister is so central to my life. She's my closest friend, my biggest supporter, and I know she would say the same about me.
