The honest truth is sometimes hard to take.
Friends come and go; we try and be good to them, we try to be ourselves. But sometimes you can see their hearts hardening, sometimes it's like watching water freeze into ice. Bit by bit, you watch them change; you watch them shut the door. And the light that you once saw in them starts to flicker, starts to burn out. We hold on for as long as possible, but it's like holding on to a wet fish, it's not meant to be held.
-hana rae
'One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way..'

Amen. I feel that way about several people I know... One in particular was my best friend. Now he's on the other side of the world. Literally.
