when we were children we cried together because of a certain someone.
we never really exchanged words as we already knew what the other felt, and so, silently we let our tears fall so that that someone does not hear.

as we grew older we learned to hide our pain. our tears fall when no one is around, because we don't want even each other to know that that someone still affects us.

bitterness harbors at some of their hearts.
and, unknowingly they have begun to be what child them cried never to be.

how can i not shed tears at this?
the ones i love are becoming what i myself feared most to ever be.

if they could be what child them cried never to be.
what if i too become what child me cried never to be?
