i said goodbye to my best friend this morning... seems that sometime back she went to the store and bought some brick... and then started building a wall. i realize now that i was watching her build it all along, but didn't understand what it was for. so in my ignorace, or maybe denial, i would ask her if she needed anything from me... help or something, but she never said anything.
the wall grew and i began to lose sight of the green grass we used to run on in her yard. confusion. then the door to her house was blocked from my view. disbelief. and eventually the windows too. sadness. now this morning i woke to darkness. she has built her wall so tall i can't see the sun. i tried to walk around and find an opening... but seemed as though she built that wall all around herself. i called out to her but i got no response... same as before.

i found pin hole in her wall where a tiny bit of sunshine shone through. i wrote her a note and stuck it in- hoping she'd find it. i told her how i loved her and how i accepted what had happened, (even though i didn't understand...) i will cover her wall with pictures of good times we had and everytime i look at it i will be filled with joy for she always had a way of improving my life.
but the wall has been built. and that's that.

well,
good bye, Katie
hello, Wall
