We have changed || story form

I hadn't realized how much we'd changed until last week and I saw you for the last time. I mean, I knew we would eventually grow apart and that things would be different; that you and I would get older and that the world would seem a novel place as we gazed at its splendor from various angles, but I would have never guessed that one day you would be sitting across the table from me and that we would act like strangers; that you would walk by me without saying hello and that you would never wear your favorite scarf again. The one I gave to you. I never expected the casual coolness or the unfamiliarity that would settle between us and until just now I never realized that one day you and I would go on different paths and that they would not include us, together.I still don't know what to think, my head feels rather heavy and my heart even more so.
After so many years I can't believe that it has come to this: that friendships can be broken and that lifelong promises can be thrown away to catch on a breeze and float into the distance. I can't believe that you would talk to your friends and I would talk to mine and that we would sit at different tables and listen to different music. I never realized how much we have changed.

But I suppose that I must go on. That I must follow the path provided for me and carry on with my life, but I just want to ask you something first: remember the time I promised that one day I would travel and see the world? Remember the time that you made me pledge that I would follow my dreams and that no matter what happened that I would seek Christ above all?
I just want to tell you that I am going to travel; that I am going to see all the places we wanted to go together. I am going to become an artist and maybe one day, you will look at the pictures I've painted and maybe you will take a moment and think of me? Because I think about you every day.

I guess this is goodbye. Auf Wiedersehen.


This is just a short work of something that I've been thinking about lately. I hope you like it!

p.s. I promised my parents I would refrain from any (any is the key word here) physical exercise that might further injure my back; for three months! I can't tell you how hard this is going to be (especially for me; you know how I am) but after several days and nights in intense pain I think I am finally willing to slow down a bit. okay, a lot. Anyway, I would appreciate your prayers... very much. 

oh, and I haven't forgotten about the giveaway... I think I'll be doing it at the end of this week!
