I had waited so long to see your face. So
when the time had came to see
you, I wanted everything to be perfect - like
out of a fairytale.
Beforehand, I ran through all of the
lines I was planning to say to
you. The things I had to say because they
had been clouding my mind for
a long time. But, when we stood face to
face, I became breathless. All the
words to express the frustration I felt
seemed to drift away. I was
losing my friend and I was beginning to
realize that with each silent
moment that passed. All the while in the
back of my mind, I knew you had
better things to do with your time then
chat with an old friend -
although I did not. Even though you claimed
nothing had changed between
us, I could see it all over your face. You
had moved on and I was living
in the past. As we sat by ourselves there
was a eerie silence. All the magic we once had faded
away like stars from the sky. As
you looked at me like I was a stranger, I
tried to glance away trying to
hide the anger and disappointment."
Why did he have to let go?"
I asked myself. I searched through the
depths of my confusion and no
answers but silence resulted. Although we were
together, we were so distant like
we were both alone. All the while I just
wanted you to hold my hand or
something to show you cared. But for two
people who were strangers it
was out of the question. Had you become
tired of me? Had I just been a
phase in your life that you had grown out
of? Was that really all I
meant to you? All these questions…all unanswered. They probably will
remain that way because we rarely
share secrets like we used to. And to be
honest I miss that the most. I
miss that bond between us! I like
thinking that I could trust you. I felt
like you were the last good male on earth,
but now I know there is no
such thing. I can't be remorseful but only
sentimental.
Although I went through some sad times
with you, this was the best year
of my life and now I know it is impossible
to keep on loving a well
known stranger.
