Progress

You can't deny it, you know you can't. We're making progress now and there's nothing that you can do about it. You always said that the day would never come and if it did, we would never move forward. Well now you have to face the fact that we are moving forward, even if it is slowly. From this day on, nothing will ever be the same again for you and me.

I always told you that things would get better, but you just wouldn't listen to me. You didn't want to admit to the fact that maybe I was right and that you were wrong. Even now I can see that you are reluctant to face the fact that this is what has happened and that I was right. Well tough, that's life my friend, that's life and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. I always knew that the progress we needed would eventually come and save us.

We've been waiting for this moment for the last ten years and now that it's finally here I have to say that I'm fucking terrified. But in a good way. I can't wait to see what happens in the next ten years – a lot can change in a decade. I'm bloody terrified yet bloody excited all at the same time. It's a weird feeling, but it's a feeling I kind of like. And even though you won't show it and won't admit to it, I can tell that you feel the same way. I've known you for a long time now and I can see it in your eyes.

Yes, everything came at once and it fell on top of us like a ton of bricks. But we coped by putting down the bag and stopped trying to carry it. Without that ton of bricks, progress would never have come around.

So, you see? If you listen to me once in a while you might see things in a new light. Not all the time, but maybe the majority of the time. Progress is just a process we made and I can't wait to see where our creation takes us next.
