Inevitable
Lives diverge.
Maybe that's a core rule;
the child leaves the parent,
or worse, the parent leaves the child.
Either way there is emptiness somewhat like a death.
Whatever the circumstances, the relationship is changed forever.
Distance is both literal and emotional; voices become cautious
(She doesn't need to know about that.), opacity arrives.
What were once specifics become generalities.
And so it goes...
