Sirens are just part of the city

People change. It's a simple fact that no one can deny. It's not necessarily a change for the better or worse, but simply an evolution of character.

In a romantic relationship, the couple changes and grows together. But in a long distance relationship, the guidance that ushers growth in the same path is much more difficult to come by.

It's not the I stopped loving her, or her me. Chances are, that will never truly happen. But the admission by both parties that something just wasn't there anymore was enough.

I've spent the last 4 years of my life completely integrating her into every aspect of my life, and despite the fact that the only direct change is a missing phone call each night, I'm going to desperately miss sharing my day with her.

When a relationship ends on good terms, because of nobody's 'fault', you can't help but be overly optimistic. But god dammit, if I know one thing, it's that life without her wouldn't be half as enriching or fulfilling. She's my best friend. She was before, and she will be still. Things will have to change, but there's no way to cut her out of my life and still feel like that life is my own.

That's all.
