changes

There he was...walking alone, crossing from one side of the road to another, thinking about his ordinary life...heading nowhere. Suddenly, he saw her, appearing from around the corner. She was a lot different than the last time they met. They stopped one in front of another, stared at each other for a while, ignoring everyone around. None of them expected the encounter...

- All of a sudden you seem someone else, she said. It's a change that took place in such a short time and in such a weird manner. What happened to the old you ? What happened to the one I used to love, to care for, to feel comfortable with ? I miss the old you...I'm even afraid to ask if that one is ever gonna come back...

- Well, I don't know...I don't know what's going on with me...

- I know...I tried to change some parts of you...everyone warned me it wouldn't be easy...yet I was stubborn enough to think I could manage to make things right for the both of us. I wanted to make you see things my way so that you would realize what was going inside of me. I tried to change you .................

...now I know it was useless...cause no matter how much you try to change someone or something, things will never be the same again. I learned it the hard way...

I want you...

...to promise me...

- that you're never gonna lie to me. Regardless of what happens, trust is one of the few things that makes the difference and I don't want us to lose it. It's priceless !

- that there's always gonna be something special between me and you. Whoever comes and goes, in and out of our lives, "us" is gonna be different.

- that you'll always talk to me. When you'll need someone close to help you get rid of the anger inside or a shoulder to cry on, you know where to find me. I'll always be there. and I promise to help, care and do my best to make you feel better.

- that you'll do your best to become a better person. Not for me, nor for anyone...but for you.

- that you're always gonna be able to keep your head up in any situation; no matter what happens, you have to be proud of yourself, of whom you are and of what you've accomplished...
