*The Past*
"Best friends to the end.
Can't you see?
That's the way it's gotta be."
- The Dingees -
When you meet a person, you usually either hit it off right away or you don't. I've never hit it off so well with someone in the first 24 hours that I knew them, as Katee. It seemed that from the second our first "Hi, nice to meet you's" were exchanged, we were unseperable.
Our friendship was like one of those from the movies. Busom Buddies, the Best of Friends. We shared laughter, tears, smiles and our deepest fears. Katee and I were the type of friends that no one really understood, but knew they could never be, and were probably incredibly jealous of. I can only imagine.
When I started dating her boyfriends best friend, it seemed as if life could not be any better, or less cliche. When we weren't all cuddled up on an apartment couch watching the Simpsons or Showtime at the Apollo, we were running a mouck through Long Beach Town Centre.
When my relationship went sour with the aforementioned boy, the "Bread and Butter" era perservered through emails, phone calls and a few scattered visits.
"All the things we talked about,
you know they stay on my mind.
And all the things we laughed about,
they'll bring us through it everytime."

*The Present*
"I guess that this is over now,
I guess it's called a falling out."

But as they say, "All good things must eventually come to an end." Unfortunately, things change, people change and those are things you cannot change. But no matter where I go, and no matter what happens, the friendhsip I once had with Katee will be something I can always look back upon and smile. Even when I'm bitter or angry, the memories I have are for the most part, good ones. But, I don't regret giving up this friendship in my effort to close the chapter on those 2.5 years of my life, because I know deep in my heart that even though it's the end of an era, no one can ever compare to the friendship that Katee and I once had, because it was something that only happens once in a lifetime.
"Maybe someday I will see you again,
and look you in the eyes and call you a friend..."
