When does soon become too late?
Where is the line,
The one where what is and what will be meet,
converging at that point where you and I will stand.
Here?
Maybe. Maybe not.
But we'll never know unless we walk.
Forward, though.
Because back there is tragic, sad, full of shadows,
The things we never meant to know and the things we had to forget.
I will be going to three weddings in the next year or so. J and K, M and C, C and K...they say once your friends start getting engaged and married off, you catch a bug. And you want it. I see it a lot in my older friends...that semisweet bitterness. Wanting to be happy, but needing what they've got for yourself. I'm too young for the wedding bug, at least that's what I keep telling myself. I might be weird for thinking too hard about what direction we're headed in, but after two years, it's hard not to. A thinks we're next, and after that nasty April Fool's Joke we pulled...who knows????

Only two years left for many of us, and this thing called "life" starts. But whose to say that it's not starting right now, it only seems like the "real world" starts happening after we're out of school. Everything we're doing right now leads to that world...but it's weird to think we're living it right now. So in no way is it far fetched to be thinking about all of that right now.
Forever with that special someone just doesn't seem that long anymore. =)
