In the past we did so much together. Always together, always agreeing; she was a closer twin to me than my own. We would play and we loved the same things, had the same morals.
But eventually people change and so does everything else. I find now that I think back, that I miss the trust I used to have and the fun I could enjoy, the innocence of being a little kid not worrying about the things of the world. As we grow older we become more aware and more susceptible to the worlds teachings and our morals and opinions change.
This is was has happened and I fear I have lost another of many friends because of this, this perverse world filled with drugs, alcohol, and an obsession with sexual things. We grow in this world and evetually many of us if not all of us will be affected. I find I can trust none of the people I naively thought I could trust with anything.
I miss the past, where I could live carefree and not have to regret when I see my old friends do the things they used to hate and tell story's of the things they drank or stole. I want to go back to when everything was innocent and nothing could tear my friendships apart. But that's just life isn't it? Corrupting or crippling even the most determined people with events that one has no control over. There's nothing I can do about the past now that it has happened but it gives me hope that things will change in the future, because I want it to be like the past, happy innocent and full of trustworthiness. I don't know what it will take to accomplish that and anything I do will probably have no affect, but I can always try.
Maybe when that happens I can trust my old friends again, though I don't expect then to be the people I used to know they are still my friends; I just he this world doesn't change then more than it has already.
