~*~::{Siddhartha 2}::~*~

(Mr. Cheng...since I made my avatar Siddhartha, I decided that I am going to make it a letter from Govinda to Siddhartha and visa versa)

Dear Siddhartha,
Why are you saying goodbye?  You and I have been companions since we were children, and by you leaving me, you are saying that we aren't friends anymore.  You don't know how depressed that makes me.  How am I going to find my own salvation when my best friend isn't apart of it?  By you leaving me, that doesn't put me on the path to salvation.  All that does is confuse me and want you back even more.  Please don't leave me. 

Love, Govinda. 

Dear Govinda, 
I understand that you don't want me to leave you.  It is completely understandable.  I don't want to have to leave you either, but as you know, my thirst for knowledge has left me empty on the inside.  I no longer know who I am and I need to learn why I feel the way that I do.  I am on the path to enlightenment, thanks to the learnings from the Buddha.  He has inspired me to go on my own path to happiness, and it involves giving up all that I love...that includes you, as well. 

Good bye for now, dear friend. 

Love, Siddhartha.
