Please read and review.. thankyou!
I suppose when he chose me, wanted me; I thought something was wrong, that he wanted me for all the wrong reasons. I think in some way he was envious of me. I made a point never to regret my decisions, at least not publicly. I made a point never to be dishonest during negotiations, at least not knowingly. I think when he went to fight he knew that he would kill; he didn't have my naivety. I guess he envied that.
Now, years later, I am envious of him. The years changed me. I go to trade with lies and broken promises as weapons, I make quick decisions, knowing full well I will regret them later. He still goes to fight knowing he will kill, knowing that at the end of the battle, blood would have shed. It's them or us.
We start the day by going our separate ways, meeting again as the night falls on our city, our broken city. Where the leaders have regrets, dishonesty and death to show for their lives.
I think now, we share battle scars, and we share deep wounds from the loss of our people, our friends, and our family. We don't envy anymore. We hate. We hate what we have to do, and we hate the fact that everyone we know is like us. This war has changed us.
Please R&R.. and let me know what you think..
