The ways things were

We were so close. We talked every day. Now, we don't even greet each other.

Has this ever happened to you? The worst feeling ever isn't it? To see someone being who you used to be. Whether it was being best friends or lovers. It hurts, even though you know that you're completely over that person. To know you just lost an important position in someone's life. To someone else.

After you notice that you're drifitng away from that person, feelings of confusion and sadness over power any other feeling. You start to feel lonely even though you still talk to that person. It doesn't feel the same. You're both putting in effort, but the conversations go no where. 

That goes on until both of you are too tired to even try anymore. You wish the other person would. But, chances are they're tired of it as well. Or they're already over it, and all along, you were the one putting effort into your friendship. Sooner or later, you'll become sick and tired as well.

By then, there will be no conversations at all. No laughter. No inside jokes. When you see each other, it'll be awkward. Every one will notice something's wrong, you'll be bombarded with questions with what happened and why. But the thing is, you don't know what happened. Or why it happened.

Until both of you don't even talk to each other. You don't even acknowledge each other's presence. Then after a while, you either move on before them, or you see them with someone else. Their vibe reminds you of how you used to be when you were around them.

It hurts, but hey, people move on. Life never stops moving.
