as I was sitting at sho mi's having dinner with a friend, I saw a man that reminded me of my father, I spent the rest of my evening focusing on his face, I wished I could have seen my father age, instead I said goodbye to him at the age of 47. I was a few weeks into being 18 years old, I look at the person I am now, and Its so different then I was five years ago.
and I fear who I will become now, that Monique has gone. I'm afraid of what I will look like 5 years from now, if I will still see her face in the mirror with mine, if I make it to those older ages, what will I feel as I look at her youthful face, and then at my wrinkled one?
we used to get ready together and occasionally both glance up at the mirror and still be shocked at how much we looked alike, and how much it creeped us out sometimes, I know my friends see us as different people, and can always tell Amber from Monique, But I do miss looking up into a mirror and seeing her face, a face that looked just like mine.
