The Inevitable Change

When you become friends with someone, you don't really realize it's happening. In essence, you stand idly by while your subconscious connects with another. You've found a new partner in crime. It's blissfully simple. After that, its a crap shoot if you ask me. Eventually, the friendship will end. This process, however, isn't as effortless. This time you see it coming. It becomes a big part of your life, albeit temporary. The painful side effects of false accusations, betrayal, lack of faith, and wasted trust are dauntlingly obvious. Where did it all go wrong? Is it an accumulated stigma your friends unconsciously make towards each other that is a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode and blow you and your friends apart? Had you known this is how things would end, would you change anything? Probably. The sad reality is that you can't, so coulda woulda shoulda. All we can do is take bits and pieces with us along the way and learn from our mistakes. I am painfully aware that this is much easier said than done, considering the difficulty in accepting your faults in the situation. How deep can a friendship go? Based on the human race's track record, they obviously lack the strength to survive men, tragic mistakes, and, well... men. As far as I'm concerned, a friendship that will go down swinging when a man comes between you is definitely a keeper.
