eternal flame...

we lost each other for a minute there... well, for me it seemed much longer than 60 seconds... i know i was hard on you, but i hope you also know it was hard on me... i couldn't understand how abandoning the distance between us actually created more... a wall separating the two of us seemed like the best idea ever -- although it quickly dismounted into something that would tear us seemingly apart...

i've come to grasp the fact that people change and so do situations... as we grow, things only seem to get a little bit more difficult... i'm willing to live with this now and just know that although priorities change, the caring has not necessarily depleted... throughout it all, i want you to know i've always been happy for you -- but selfishly not happy at how it affected me... this was easily the biggest test our friendship has ever come to face...

but the more satisfying part of this whole ordeal was calling you the other day... instead of picking up where we left off, we did what we do best -- were friends... and i think it's safe to say we're passing this one with solid grades... i'll take sporadic chit-chat over silence any day...
