Day 14 - Someone You've Drifted Away From

It's crazy...how time waits for no one.

Almost 4 years ago, we took a picture at my high school graduation. What's funny is that we were drifting apart at that point, but I didn't want to believe it. And now. Well, I don't even know what to say. It's a sad truth, but I suppose that's all a part of life, right?

So how did we get to this point...from best friends to acquaintances? Here's my humble opinion: we grew up. While your choices forced you to grow up in a more unorthodox way, I took the normal route (i.e. work and school). A lot of decisions were made that I couldn't agree with, and while that probably made me a really bad person, I didn't want to devote the time and energy it took to repair our crumbling relationship. For that, I apologize. A true friendship can't succeed when one or both individuals don't put forth the effort.

I honestly can't say if we could ever get back to the way we were, and that saddens my heart a little. Unfortunately, I don't think it bothers me enough to change it. The past is what it is and we can't dwell in it. The memories and laughs that we shared then are behind us. Our present and future are independent of one another. Sucks to admit, but it's high time that we were honest with one another....don't you think?
