Dear Silence,
I know that you have been my best friend of late, and given the circumstances I can understand why. But being around you is keeping me away from my other friend---the one that I've been trying so hard to get close to--Answer. Now, I know that sometimes Answer comes around while we are together, but I have to tell you, that just isn't often enough to suit me. It was alright back in the day when Patience and I still talked, but when that friend betrayed me I packed up and left...literally. It hurt a lot more than it should have I guess, but probably because our other close friend (you remember old Logic, right? Don't lie to me---I saw you two in that darkened corner last night) and I had so many talks about it, and I had been convinced that Patience was the glue that was holding our little group together. I was so sure that Patience was someone I could depend on, and learn from---one of those friends that could and would carry me through anything. You have no idea the disappointment...but we're straying from the topic now. I've always wanted to go steady with Answer, but ever since Patience left, I've gotten even crazier. I think, perhaps, it's because I need to find someone to hold our gang (what's left of it) together, and Answer just seems to be the perfect match. Anyway, I don't want to leave you behind or anything like that. I just think we need to spend less time together. I hope you understand, and I really really hope Answer comes my way real soon. Especially since it's getting to be that time where I need to settle down, maybe have some kids---Faith, Hope, and Love. And I just...well, I can't see myself having that kind of life if I'm with you.
I won't forget you, or the times you saved my skin. I won't forget the way you were there for me, looking out for me, when Patience wasn't and Answer wasn't around. I want you to start seeing Logic more often though; you two sure look nice together. Maybe you'll have a kid of your own, and you'll call it Control. Wouldn't that be something? I'll visit often, I promise.
Always,
