Washed out with the waves.

There is a distance, there is a long highway that seems to stretch on forever.
My dad used to tell me you'll always be able to count the amount of your true friends on one hand. And i never really comprehended it. Now i do. It's kinda funny how even the people that were once the closest to me, aren't anymore. The people you trusted with your life can stab you in the back. What i've taken from this...? Well i guess, not trusting so easily. And honestly i'm not. It's so hard for me to trust anybody in my life. I've had one too many experiences where i've let myself get hurt from the unexpected. So NO MORE will i let my guard down. I'm so sick of shady people. It seems at times there is no truth in the world. But some people do prove me wrong... only some. maybe i'm not handling this situation right and maybe previous times before i did the same, but each and every one of those instances i had my reasons. As i do now. Don't get me wrong, it hurts like hell almost every single day. But i feel i can handle it.. i mean shit i've handled it this long. Might as well go for the rest of the stretch. As for the memories.. i won't let them last forever. As sad as this is, they will be lost along the way.
