i've seen many a friend go down the wrong path in life. I try to help, but not everyone wants it. Not everyone sees the danger. some don't want to be helped.
some don't want to be friends anymore--no explanation given, they just want you out of their lives.
some think friendship as something to be tossed out the nearest window, and trampled upon by the city's population.

I've known people who are great inspirations to my life. The time I have spent with them I will remember forever--but they seem to disappear into history long before they have lived their lives fully.

and I know friends now, whom I trust. I value their experiences and their advice. only time will tell if they stay good friends, best friends, or will they too go down the path where I can't follow.

past is past--what a lie. I refuse to forget the past. to forget is to not be aware of what dangers may unfold before you now.
