From Afar

  • He has finally told me he is leaving. In six months he will just be a shadow. Everything that I have built up for us will finally just crash and burn and die. The words are on my tongue and I find them hard to come out. I am stuttering over every little word, and his eyes narrow to mine. I write what I can't say on a napkin and slip it towards him and hug him goodbye. He calls me later that night to tell me that our friendship is too valuable to risk. I laugh and say I understand; we hang up. Though the tears aren't rolling down my face; doesn't stain my cheeks at all. Though the blood is stronger and stains my pants and legs and runs everywhere. Its crazy how one word or one saying can break someone, but it is even more amazing how one word or saying can make somebody. For what I have realized he has made me; me. And I won't hate him for rejecting me, I will love him for help shaping me.
