The Boy who never truly lived Part 20

I now see that
The Boy doesn’t need or want any help
Learning to live
He doesn’t deserve the title
“The Boy who never truly lived”
Anymore
He’s outgrown it
He has learned to live alone
He does enjoy the company of his friends
But he enjoys his solitude more
Someday I realize that we will have to part ways
Our paths have crossed for a while
But they will someday go different ways
That’s fine
We will always be friends
And if we ever want to talk or see each other again
We can stray from our paths for a while
And enjoy the fields or forests in between.
The End
