I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that our bond is no longer as strong as it used to be. To hell and back, we went. And you chose to stay down there. I knew you would rise above your demons. But they convinced you to stay with those persuasive words of theirs. Your demons helped shape a falsehood that soon became your truth. They wanted to push us away from each other. It seems you did, too. I will never understand how you let the negative you always avoided into your life. You are much better than this. I've lost hope in you rising above this "phase" you are in. And maybe one day you will. Maybe one day you will search your now festered soul and find that that is not how you want it to be. What I do know is that one day, further down the path you travel, you will realize that those demons only wanted to break you down. I wish you the best although there is disappointment in you still in my heart. And to a bond that once weathered every storm encountered, may you regain your strength. *32114
