"it has been said time heals all wounds, i do not agree. the wounds remain. in time the mind protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but is never gone." - Rose Kennedy ~

We went out onto the front porch and sat on the steps, drinking our beers and watching the sunset. "So do you...do this often?" Dallas sounded bored as he drank his beer
"Yeah, whenever I can. Its a nice way to wind down, debrief and remind myself I'm okay and life goes on. That even as the sun goes down there will still be tomorrow and things change. Its a nice way to keep you going until tomorrow." I answered
"Well people always say to tell yourself that and watch sunsets to appreciate the Earth's 'beauty' but all I see is a flaming ball of light getting slightly dimmer." Dallas said
I laughed aloud and sighed, "I'm somehow not surprised you'd say that."
"I somehow am surprised you wouldn't agree." Dallas said
I furrowed my eyebrows, "Why's that?" genuinely curious
"I don't know you just...come off as the type." Dallas replied
I nodded my head in understanding, yet I didn't quite get it. What do I come off as? A moment of me stuck in my own thoughts passed by then Dallas spoke up again, "It's odd...I feel like I've known you for so long and I knew you so well but its as if I knew nothing about you all along."
I sighed, "Yeah, I get that. We knew each other for a few years and I can swear we were pretty good friends but I can't seem to recall any great big memories we ever made."
"Well I remember when I set off the fire alarm." Dallas chuckled
I laughed, "Yeah, I remember that too."
"And when I pissed in a cup and left it on the teacher's desk." Dallas laughed
"I somehow remember that too." I chuckled in disgust
"I remember you were about the smartest girl in class." Dallas said
I blushed a little bit, "Aw well, I wouldn't say that."
"You had a 4.0 for as long as I knew you, but were so nonchalant about it people just assumed you weren't that bright. But I knew by just looking and talking to you that you were smart. Something I wish I had." Dallas said
"You're very clever, Dallas. Ever since I can remember I envied your sarcasm and wits and effect you had on people. I wanted to be intimidating, make people laugh but piss them off at the same time. I'll always remember you for that, I always have. Ever since you called me Calico." I mentioned
