friends the ones I depend upon to keep me company when I'm alone, to comfort me in times of need, are always there for me thought thin and thick, the blood that separates you from being family couldn't make us any closer. The countless jokes and stories we have told is nothing compared to the bond that was developed. That bond will always be there and so will the memories but as they say friends must come and go. Even though we know each other like we were brothers the only thing that separates us is time. As we grow ever older with each torturous day I feel as if the bond between us is falling through the deep abyss of the sea never seen again from beneath the crippling darkness. This feeling is uncomprehensible, The choice to willingly leave and go to college and separate myself from the ones I've come close to, and to submerse myself in this new world, to let my soul flow through this place with the endless possibilities it gives me. I'm sorry but time is running low and every day is another day shorter to our parting and as we make our departure I know we shall cross paths once again and reminisce on "the old days". but until then let's throw back the glasses of youth and enjoy it before our age catches up with us
