The Broken Distance

"I remember it everyday. Every moment. When I wake up, he's there. When I close my eyes to sleep, he's there. He looked me right in the eyes, a smile on his face and a shotgun in his hand as he said 'You're going to die tonight.'"

"Best friends for life…" I wish it had been true. But betrayal lives and feasts on those who are faint-hearted.

"Best friends forever…" Why did things change? Why aren't you still here? I would still be there for you at any moment.

"Best friends…" Total strangers now.

I met her before we started preschool. Abby and me, me and Abby. We were always together having fun and making memories. Back then we were just innocent children just learning about the world we had been born into. Circumstances can break apart many things, but I did not know it would break us apart. I do not want to rant about our past, but you should know now is that we no longer speak. At age 18, and with 3 years without speaking, we were unexpectedly brought back together. By chance? Maybe, but I am beginning to think it is something more than that.
