AS IF THINGS NEVER CHANGED	  AS IF THINGS NEVER CHANGED by Renny
Ramos 

  As if things never changed.   He stands by the door and watches over the
world he now calls his own.   With a gaze that never wavers, he stands
still while everyone else moves to the rhythm of life.   To protect. To
serve. To honor.   Sacrifice.   That is my duty. That is my life, he
thinks.   He reminds himself that his life is not his own to keep.   He
tries to forget that one brief moment - desperately  running from the
cold, towards the warmth his heart had long ignored, trying to reclaim 
his dreams, his life.   Trying	so hard not to	be  alone anymore.   He
tries to ignore the swirl of pain and regret.   Tries not to feel the
loss. The cold, stark betrayal that left him bloodied and dying on the
streets.   He wonders if it would have been better if he had died that
night.   And then he remembers. His life was never his own. He never
lived.   As if things never changed. He stands by the door  and watches
the world he now calls his own.   With a gaze that never wavers, he stands
still while everyone else moves to the rhythm of life.   Except that now,
he sees through his tears.   And as if things never changed, no one
notices.   The End
