Oh, Chrono Trigger, how you still move me after all these years. Since that time you graced me with your presence, the magic that such perfection could exist in the sea of mediocrity which drowns so many others never ceases to amaze me. No matter how many times I’ve explored every inch of your being, I cannot be helped to feel rejuvinated in my lust for all things gaming.

And even as your age slowed you down over the years, even as I was tempted by your attractive younger sibling, I couldn’t stay away from you. They couldn’t make me remember what it was like to be young again, to experience such completeness.

I was hesitant at first when you announced you’d be returning to my life. After all, the years have passed and even the most beautiful and well meaning have to change over time. I was scared, and I didn’t know if I could adapt. Still, I couldn’t keep away from your calling, as my neglected cellphone bill can attest too.

I knew I shouldn’t have doubted you? How could you disappoint? Age has made you wiser, more compelling, and I feel as if I’m exploring new territory. Even now, I understand you so much better now than I did as a child, and it makes me smile. Even as I caress everything I remembered, I found new things to understand and love about you. Yes, it’s true, Chrono Trigger. I could spend forever with you, never regretting a single day, because I know none will ever satisfy the way you have.

I swear to God, I will never make a post like that again. I promise.
