I am lost. I am drowning. I am silent. There is no one for me to speak to and there are no words for me to speak. The walls are moving closer, and the darkness seeping into my skin. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how to proceed. But I am calm. I am calm because I know that you are here. You may be miles away, but you are here. I talk to you to let out what plagues me with no end. You do not make it go away but at least you know. You cannot erase the feelings I possess, but you can numb the pain. I ask you questions that have been on my mind but never spoken. Things I never ask. Yet I ask you. The questions are vague, they are random, but yet you answer. And the answers you give somehow make sense to me. Why do I ask you these questions, why do I talk to you about this; I ask. Because we are the same. You say. We are the same in the way we think and feel. And our understandings. An answer I never thought I would recieve and yet it answers my question so well. And at the same time leaves me with so many more. Are we truly the same? Perhaps. What makes us similar, I will never know. But it is something that runs deeper than I first thought. Into the spirit, we are the same and we understand. And that is what friendship truly is. One who reaches for your hand to help you up, and touches your heart and soul. Changing you in too many ways to even fully realize. And for that, I thank you. Change is not always easy but it is always necessary. For the changes you have wrought, both easy and hard; I thank you.
