the way a friendship ends or lives

it's strange how it's coming all at once.

first about people i've known most of my life, second about a person who i've known for a long time. sometimes, if it does not work anymore, it's just better to say well, so long now, and wish them well.

too often, we wish that we could be more open and closer to people we are supposed to be friends with but somehow, just somehow, it doesn't work out that way.

perhaps it'll be different when we meet again, someday at some cafe, that we'll be able to find some topic of conversation instead of having to struggle to look for one. we all know we'd love to make our friendships work, and that we'd be there for each other if need be.

that is, if one would feel it natural and "alright" to communicate such and such a need to the other, of course. no-one can help right an issue if he/she does not know about it in the first place, no?


thus... i hope we meet in some cafe and smile genuine smiles and be really glad that hey, we meet again. then at least we'll have a reason to not feel too odd about making small talk then toy with the idea of "having lunch again, like we used to".
