We'd known eachother nearly 20 years man, without so much as 1 argument. I knew this was bad news. I knew that anything that would've gone down between us would've been cataclysmic. Dammit if I weren't right. Now, I'm one friend down and to top it off, I actually miss her. I'd take her back if she only apologized, but even with a genuine apology, the friendship's been splintered and we've gone too far to go back so all we have are the memories. I'll have to reference this post in the future.

I've been throught a few disagreements that lasted a months with some of my best friends, but in the end we stuck together and we're better for it.<BR/><BR/>I try to say how I feel, but at the same time, I try to figure out when to bite my tongue too.
