lovers to friends

There is a road hidden from most and discovered by few. It is a secret path that is not safe nor well-lit. Its fraught with pain and heartache and danger all along the path. Most pass it by and never even think about trying to find it. They can imagine what is at the end but they don’t believe they can reach it. And so they take the well-lit, well-worn path and follow the masses. I found this path. And I fought through it, often doubling back and going in circles. The pain associtated with my choice almost killed me and destroyed everything in me. I lost faith and confidence. But I gained it back. Looking back at my life before taking this path, I see how things were and how things could have been. But because I took this path

and because you took it with me

nothing will ever be the same again.

It is the road from lovers to friends.
