One met in childhood, the other a few years later.

They both made a big impact on my life, in ways that are unimaginable.

The first one pulled me out of my shell,

He made sure I had someone accompany me in hard times,

We were inseparable, practically brothers to each other,

He was there for everything in those years, even my struggles,

When we made it to the same school, we knew we were going to have fun.

Even in the summer, we were unaware of the problem ahead.

He always seemed to help me out, no matter what.

The other person made me who I am.

She knew me for being weird;

She did make a fool out of me a few times, but I forgave her.

We made some good memories together that year.

After graduation we stayed in contact and had our good moments

Unannounced, a while later, she made her appearance at school.

We were all happy in the same place,

But that was in the past, now they’re both gone.

The start of the school year seemed good.

Those two special people knew each other already. There was no need for introductions

The first month of bonding was good…oh how I miss it.

“They both get along so well, I’m pretty sure nothing will go wrong!”

The next few weeks proved me wrong.

Now you may ask, what comes next?

I cannot answer that question, as this story ended here.

I was just as confused as you: does it really end like that?

But I’ve accepted my fate.

Now they’re both gone, those two special people,

Reduced to strangers, who won’t even look me in the eye.

I’ll take this as a win, as they helped me out,

Made me into the person I am now, and taught me how to be better.

I really am thankful for those two special people.

They made me the person I am today.
