what have you become...

oh to grow... what a journey is life. we meet so many people every day, so many lives to intersect. and what do we become? a conglomeration of opinions. this is the boy around whom my life has centred for the past four years. this is for whom i have run the race. this is he for whom i have cried, with whom i have laughed. and what is he to become? i wish i could tell you, for i know nothing of him any more. it seems to me that he has outgrown me; a stranger in my own home. and what of me? i am the catalyst.
