Another Position Vacant

It hurts. Not a thing I can do about it but it hurts. I've had you around for so long it just seemed you'd always be there but times change, things change, relationships change. I'm sure one day we may run into each other and smile and be courteous but ex-best friends don't sit well with me. You are or you aren't. there's no in between. I could grovel and beg and force you into something you just aren't anymore but that would diminish what was once there. I'm accepting, I have to be. I'm as much to blame. I know that. Just know that my thoughts of you are nothing but warmth. You out grew me and I just have to be big enough to accept that. 41 years was not such a bad inning though. Id have preferred it was 82 though. Yet another position vacancy to fill. It's impossible though as you are the only one that could ever fill it. I miss you every day.
