We all have that friendship, don’t we?
There was a time someone knew me like a diary.
They knew the songs I listened to when I felt low, the cheesecake I loved, the way I got quiet when I was anxious.
We laughed together, shared pain, sat under our favorite tree and made promises we never thought we’d break.
Then one day, it just stopped.
No fight. No drama. No real reason.
Maybe they found someone else. Maybe we both stopped trying. Maybe it was a misunderstanding that we both never bothered to clear.
Now when someone looks at them and says, “Weren’t you two close?” I just smile and say, “Yeah, things change.”
But the truth?
Sometimes the songs we shared find me again.
Sometimes the tree feels too familiar to walk past.
And that box under my bed,.the one filled with little gifts and pieces of that friendship, it feels like it quietly asks me, “Do you remember?”
And I do.
More than I should.
Some friendships don’t end with a goodbye, they just keep echoing in everything you try to forget.
And here I wonder,
Where did it all go wrong?

I feel that. But in my case, I know exactly what they did and I don’t know what I’d do if I ran into them again.
Sometimes nothing goes wrong, sometimes life just gets in the way. I had a wonderful friend that did nothing wrong and I did nothing wrong other than life happened and we just grew apart. I still think of them and hope and wish nothing but the best for them. It’s sad and I deeply miss them. I hope one day to reconnect but at the time I just can’t find the time. I’m getting myself together and that’s really the only thing stopping me. I hope this helps you in some way and finds you comfort.
For me it was someone who ended up having an affair with a married man. Thought that was weird. I never said anything to her but I sensed she knew we would be bothered by that. We started drifting apart after that happened. They broke up I guess? And then she started dating a guy who would flirt with her while he had a long term gf.
Idk what happened and her view of relationships, she seemed smarter than that when we first started hanging out. I don’t necessarily wish her anything bad, but not interested in starting a friendship again.
it sucks man.. friendships are tricky. i have a frind like that to. we just drifted apart with no explenation. its hard to let go
