Hint of Sadness

It hit me today - the realization that there's a part of my life that's never going to be the way it once was. I've known this for a while now, I've told people about it, and I thought I believed it to be true. I think however that I was thinking the same thing many other people are thinking - that I'm going through a phase and I'll eventually come around. I know now, in a new way, that it's just not the case. The weird thing is, while I don't want things the way they were, there's still a part of me that misses it. That will miss it. I think it might be about time for a good cry.
