Friends
I left a comment on a friends LiveJournal less than a minute ago, and what I told him...I think I should tell everyone. I've been giving a lot of thought to every friendship I have, and to be brutally honest, there aren't many that hold value in my heart. In fact, there are some that I sulk in bewilderment at why I even keep them around. I've never had a brother...never, not a time in my life, but I do have something that comes incredibly close...I have a Tony Owen. We've known each other since 6th grade and since then we haven't stopped talking but once. I remember the old days of how it used to be with me and him, we'd hang out all the time after school and when we couldn't...we would always call. We hung out on weekends, staying up at night til god knows when for absolutely no reason just to talk about anything and everything. I don't know very many funny people, in fact, I could shorten the list to 3. There are people that I hang out with, and people that I WANT to hang out with, and then there's the people I miss. Tony and I would say whatever was on our minds and not care if it sounded dumb, it only made us laugh. Tony's goin through a rough time right now, and I am too. It's no competition between the two of us but, we always seem to be in the same boat most of the time. As I sit here writing this, a tear is trying to come through, tony is my brother, and the farther he gets away from here...the more I seem to miss. I remember times when there was some fighting, but it always ended in friendship. We never, ever tried to be better than the other, even though we both knew which one really was. Days with Tony, are the best there ever could be...back before weed existed and beer was the same way. I remember nights when we woke his mom up just to get us food. I remember times we got in trouble for being up so late, but even then we'd act like we were asleep to jsut watch more tv. I miss tony like I'd miss my family, because in truth, that's exactly what he is. In times of trouble, I know where to go. I know who to talk to make everything seem okay. I eagerly await the day that he moves back here. Then everyone will finally see the Nathan that has disappeared. Tony, I hope you read this cuz I think you should
