So I was messing around on the computer and came across these two quotes and got the idea for this short story. It didn't quite come out the way I wanted it to...I don't know I guess it came out ok. Well, anywhere here it is. Please Review.
"We laughed until we had to cry, we loved right down to our last goodbye, but over the years we'll smile and recall for just one moment we had it all." - (not sure)
"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." - Norman Cousins
What could have been…
We could have had a lasting friendship, something that only grew over time. We could of pushed back all the hurt and pain of the past, and focused on what was here and now. And for a little while we managed to. You and I became best friends. We helped each other, understood each other and for a little while I was happy. But I made the mistake of letting myself hope that this wasn't some dream…that maybe I wasn't alone. And on that day you left, I lost everything. I lost a friend, but something more.
We could have been…
Brothers. A brother is someone who knows you just as well as you know yourself. Every thought, every reaction, every expression, everything. I never told you, but that's what I saw you as. You knew me so well and I thought I knew you. We fought and argued, but isn't that what brothers do? Even so, when I needed you most you were there to pick me back up. You were my one and only. No one could of ever taken your place because you were a part of me. That's why, on the day you left, something inside me died, and it won't come back until your at my side again.
We could have been…
Friends…brothers. We could of lived life for the future not for the past. We could of lived and died with no regrets. We could of fulfilled our dreams together. We could have been happy. We could have been…family.
But then again, everything happens for a reason. Maybe, just maybe, it was never meant to be.
