They have changed and I have noticed. Because I am their friend. They empty themselves of emotion and hide behind other things. They keep themselves distracted and it pisses me right off. Because you should only ever do that if you are really alone. Its only temporary it doesnt really help . It helps you wait it out until you find someone and not to be alone. Distractions can only last so long and the longer you stay in that space the more you see the cracks and the more you replace the walls with lies over lies until that distraction is ugly and when you open your eyes and look at it you want nothing to do with it because the fact that its not real is never more apparent then your love for it is lost and you search and search for something anything that will fill the void it left. (This is from ages ago, I have no idea)
