growing apart

"Does growing up mean having to grow apart?"

It was a windy, dreary Monday afternoon when I finally gave in to the pitiless yearning in the depths of my stomach.
He was standing a few inches away from my locker with a couple of his friends, tilting his head back with a genuine laugh that, upon hearing, would brighten anyones day.

Current mood:  cynical. 

 This is a result of my anger and hurt at my cousins or specifically, I was more upset at my one cousin who I am really close with. She and I were born a day apart, her birthdate is July 4th, and mine is July 5th. So I wrote this after my initial anger that became regret and then, it went from there.
