STRANGER

Hello stranger!!
My heart said it before I could stop it. But I was fast enough to control my tongue. I can't remember when it all began, but suddenly, I felt the distance between us get wider and none of us did anything to change the situation.
We used to be great friends. Heck! We used to be the best of friends!! The type that always had something to laugh about, whether or not others got the joke. Our private jokes were great too, most were silly I admit, *chuckles* but they all made a lot of sense to us. I still catch myself smiling when I remember any of them. Those were the best of times. We were younger, fun, innocent, with little or no care about what people thought of us.
I can't remember how we met or the first time we spoke, but whatever we spoke about must have been extremely important to us as we bonded really fast. I don't know how it all happened but I remember that a day hardly went by without us talking to each other, laughing, or eating together. If I would let myself do so, I would admit that I miss those times. We were inseparable. Got through everything together. We were "THE TEAM"! And everyone knew it.
That is why it is hard for me to understand why our friendship did not survive that unfortunate argument. I mean, looking back now, our friendship was stronger than that! *I think* Yes, we apologised to each other for the part we played in the whole thing, but things changed after that. And I changed with it. The calls first reduced, then the hellos and then it all stopped. Do you even remember our friendship? Do you think about me at all?
Why did we do that? Why did we let it end that way?
Hmmm... I can not even answer those questions. But I guess it was time. Or , maybe what we had was not strong enough. Whatever the case, you were a great friend during the life of our friendship. I hope you are doing well? I wish you the best of all you wish for yourself.
So long lost friend!
So long stranger!
