I needed a creative release. Something is bugging me and I need some way to channel it; what other way than writing? CnC appreciated greatly. *** I remember when we were children; the autumn leaves used to seem so fascinating as they danced about our miniature feet. You used to laugh along with me as we both skipped in the breeze that shook the dying world around us, with the frequent occurrence of tripping and tumbling into the bright orange sea of crunch and snap... How fantastic. I remember when we were young; the ice that laced the ground beneath our feet seemed so amusing to jump upon, and crack into tiny pieces. We used to find big strips of it, like a large white stripe in the road, and take one big run-up towards it, and then skid across it like the ‘ice surfers’ we were. We went through so many sachets of hot cocoa and marshmallows; how did we stay so healthy? I remember when we went into our secondary school; we walked into the gates together, and swore that we would walk out together. Friends to the end, never walking alone at our times of need and worry. That night, as the sun dipped from the sky, I swore I felt the wind of change shudder through my bones. I remember when I hit my teens; I had a limo that night and we ‘hit the town’ in such style. You bought me a grey teddy bear holding a pink present, with the words Always and Forever written on the box he sat in. I still have him to this day... It’s a pity how lies are easy to grow attached to. Now I sit. Thinking. I saw you today, but didn’t talk; you have changed, and I don’t like the person you have become. You used to be funny, and you used to make me feel good. Now you’re just a typical teenage boy, taunting and laughing at stupid stuff. What happened to Always and Forever?
