Second to last line: "affect" should be "effect"?

This is a personal, emotional, probing write and I like how your inner monologue (inner thoughts) come to play here. It's personal enough for you yet leaves a lot for the reader to think about. Why I've written, who I've written about, a secret that I've shared that I have to accept as truth, and especially that connection with a person. I like how you simply mention that word, "touch", and whether physical/tangible or they emotionally touched you in your lives, it keeps coming back in memories and moving you.
