a few nights ago, i looked up and realized that the friend i had is gone. the problems and pains, the trials and tests, the difficulties and disappointments, the chaos and the crises of the world have taken him away from me never to return again to the "somewhere only we know" that we once shared.
the friend i had is gone, and now i must try my best to live with the man he has become. no matter how distant, how remote, how disengaged he may be from our relationship, i must live with who he is now. no matter how heartbroken and discouraged i may be, no matter how many recriminations and criticisms i hurl at myself, no matter how many "if only i were more this or less of thats" reverberate through my mind, i must find a way to accept what has come to pass.
i must accept the friend i have and pray that my belief that love does make a difference will return again.
