I.2 (gripped by time in perpetual stillness)

you've changed you know. like a different person now.

i was much younger then. people grow up.

[silence]

have i changed that much?

it's only been four years.

[pause] four fucking years.

[pause] can't really talk to you the same we used to those days. those were the good days yeah?

yeah ..

you don't agree?

no it's not that i don't. had the time of my life then.

that's convincing.

but those WERE the good days. it's nice to reminisce. but then we have nothing in common now. the past binds us, but it ends there.

okay. so i am different now, that much is true, i suppose ... but only because i'm allowing myself to become who i want to be.

we may well no longer be as close as we were before ...

... and that's perfectly fine. it does not mean that i care about you less than i did before.

and you can promise that?

... [silence]

say, if I'd met you today for the first time, would we still be friends then?

the coffee here sucks

you've changed ...
