Change

I never knew how quickly things could change. Or at least, I never knew that we would.

I’ve always had to choose,
Who to trust, and who to believe.
But I never had this much to lose,
Never had this much to grieve.

It hurts me inside,
To not know what’s right.
The difference between resent and pride,
What used to be simple as day and night.

How could things change this quickly?
Can’t we go back to a yesterday?
Before things were ever this sickly,
And I use to think everything would be okay?

Have our pasts always led to this?
Were we always going to say goodbye,
Leave everything behind with nothing to miss?
Even if it feels like it’s our first time saying “Hi.”?

I don’t know what will happen next,
Nor will I ever see,
What made us such wrecks,
For this to be the end of ‘we’.

All that’s left to say now is goodbye,
Because though I still decide,
You have already chosen to stop our lie,
And get off this dramatic ride.

Goodbye, old friend,
I guess this is the end.

Couldn't really think of a name, so I'm open to any suggestions.

OWSRALL to the end....


...or not.

This reminds me of growing up. how things get complicated and others change and loose sight of life. It doesnt get easier. Just a few moments of piece in between the next life complication.

Really reminds me of a situation I was in a couple of years ago...

I'm so sad! We've all changed so much over the summer, and then with the added dynamic of high school and Lyndsey going to BVT, everything's just so different. This really sums it up perfectly, I just wish we could go back to normal.

I know like the whole Halloween thing last night, just made me realize how much things have changed :(

[Sophie]

I know, I can't believe that was the first we heard of a party. I also can't believe Lyndsey already has a boyfriend, and obviously a lot of friends if she's havng a party. I just want BVT to go die in a hole

[Amanda]

I honestly don't care that she has a boyfriend, or other friends or whatever. It's just makes me think that maybe we didn't mean so much after all. That's the part that makes me angry/sad, because I don't want to remember the past few years as lie

[Sophie]

That's what I meant! Man, you worded that perfectly.

[Amanda]

Well, we'll see what happens :/
