the end.

tonight the musical closed. after months of spending time with these people, we all had to part. i know that it's not a final farewell, but it will never be the same. at rehearsal, people are one way, but back in the real world, they change. what i had during the past weeks is, for the most part, gone.

at dinner, though my mouth was quivering, i pretended to smile. when i brushed away the salty drops, i pretended i was rubbing my tired eyes.

i don't like to let things go.
