Broken Dreams

We all have someone in our lives we cherish, even love. sometimes... we hate them, other times... we call them simply to hear there comforting voice. and there are moments when your alone with them, and feel like... life is perfect. At least when it happens to me... I could hope time slows down enough that I can enjoy each second of it. After thinking about it, that is what friends are... we are just Tied to Fate.

After a week of being at home alone I got a call from a friend. It was cliff who as concerned of my unwillingness to leave the house. the only thing I could say was.
"I just feel empty inside."

which felt true to the past week, and he insisted, that I visit him. as a apology for the last little trip that he felt it would be fun for us both. even if I only went a few times with him to it; but not really often enough to be a regular. but he decided to come pick me up.

So I accepted his offer to spend time at his place. He was always showing alot of empathy to me. even if we diddnt spend enough time in eachothers lives. I felt alittle sad inside, he was such a nice guy, but alot like me in some ways.

He lived alittle outside the city limits, living more on the outskirts to a freeroaming lifestyle without many nabors around to annoy him or his activities. but his home was something he admired. his inheritance pretty much allowed him to retire early in life.

A large dark blue house, mostly made of steel and many windows. some large enough to walk though, others small slits to give light. but all around the front porch, I could see wind chimes or many various designs and sizes. the melody of the wind was peaceful, as was the atmosphere of his home.

Cliff parked outside on the dirt driveway and looked at me. he gave me a passive smile and closed his eyes. I looked for a moment, but just shy'd away from his eyes.
Cliff "you've lost some weight. not eating enough?"
I got out of the car the same time he did. looking over at him "I just.. well.. I rather drink a soda, or water... I dont have a reason to eat much."
