Running against the wind

Sometimes the people you think you know the best do things you can't understand. That's how I realized... we came from the same place but went completely different directions. People are never the same... they constantly change, adapt to their surroundings and put up new defenses to the world. Memories become distorted... things in the past, if not

Then what did you expect? Did you think I'd just agree with you and be fine with never being able to see one of my best friends anymore? All this about memory is nice and warm, but it's shit. I think you wish you could look at the past that way, but you have some issues you need to deal with before you realize that that isn't how things work.

All I wanted was to be your friend enough so that when you said goodbye to me when you left, it would be as good as saying goodbye to Portland. But if you won't even hug me goodbye without prompting, then forget it. I hope you can look at the past without listening to it, because in a few years, you won't be able to stand to listen for what it has to say about you.

So if this is how you want to say goodbye (and if it is, it's a pretty shitty cop-out) then so be it. I'll still miss you, I just won't want to.
