Its beautiful when two strangers become best friends, but sad when two best friends become strangers...

They all said "Hallo" and felt awkward and unhappy suddenly, because it was sort of a goodbye they were saying, and they didn't want to think about it. So they stood around and waited for someone else to speak, and they nudged each other, and said "Go on"...

It's astonishing to me how two people who once knew each another so intimately can suddenly become like strangers. In fact, that was probably one of the most unnerving things about them. I watched as they grew more and more distant and soon it was like they were roommates. It reached a point where they were no longer talking anymore...just existing. It was then that I realized they were close to the end of their friendship. And I couldn't do a single thing about it.

This is tough to swallow, but it's crazy to see them act like strangers when you've watched them together for almost 2 years. Sometimes I look at pictures of them and can hardly believe they were ever even together. Things are so different now and they're so far removed from one another. In some ways it feels like they were never friends but in other ways it feels strange that they're not. Does that even make any sense? I still pinch myself sometimes to see if this is all a joke. And everytime I have a dream about them along with me are together. Maybe my subconcious hasn't quite accepted it all yet.

There have been times where I want to shake both of them and shout, "You were once good friends! You once gave a damn about one another! Don't you have any of those feelings left anymore?" But then I remember that they were dysfunctional together and that watching two people lose touch with one another is not a life I want to see among my realm of close friends. I want to see them happy. And if that's not back to how it was, then I guess I'll have to learn to deal.

Were things strange for you when your friends began acting like strangers? Did something indecent happened between them? Or maybe they had a smooth transition and make an effort to become how they were before they met each other. Either way, they're not together as they once were and that's just weird.

And with this, I dedicate it to whomever reading this...


All I want in this life is to matter to somebody like you matter to me and to change somebody's life like you have changed mine. I want to be the kind of person that somebody can count on, the kind that somebody always knows will know just what to say. I want to be as special to somebody - someday - as you have been to me each and every day

Yours faithfully,
An Unhappy Man
