Things change,
People grow up,
We lose touch,
We lose sight,
We lose heart.
I know all this.
I accept all this.
Yet I don't.
You seem to have changed.
You're not the person I met.
You're not the person I was once friends with.
You're not what I expected.
Your views have changed.
You laugh at different things.
You smile a little more slyly.
I keep thinking you'll go back.
Be the person you once were.
But I know you won't.
Or maybe.
Maybe you're still the same person.
Maybe I just grew up a little.
Maybe you are as immature as you always were.
Maybe I finally see you as you are.
Maybe I've learned to look at what else is out there.
I'm glad I've grown up.
I'm glad you've put me through what you have.
YOU made me grow up.
YOU made me question.
YOU made me leave.
People grow up.
People grow apart.
It's a part of life.
Accept it.

this is VERY true, it's hard to think of friends as temporary, but change is a part if life, it's so hard for me sometimes, this is very well written, it has so much emotion in it, thanks for sharing this!

WOW. seriously, this was sooooo powerful. i mean... WOW!
it's so sad and everything, i mean like, you are losing someone, and they've hurt you and everything, and then.....
well ha, you know the story, YOU wrote it. the part in the middle where everything changed... i thought that was good, really good, but then the last part there, that was just like... i don't know any other way to say it... wow. it was so powerful. very very nice job. thanks.
