Faded Friendships
It is strange how people can change so fast. She still remember when they were still friends. Good friends, or so she thought. She still smiles at the things that they did together, and all the memories they created together.
All of a sudden, he just didn't seem to care for her anymore. It's like 100 celcius dropping abruptly to the freezing point. She felt that she had lost a friend, in some way that she didn't know. She didn't even see it coming.
Then she found out why. She knew the girl, always thought the both of them were made for each other. In fact, she is happy that he finally found someone that suits him. Good luck to them and may they be happy for as long as they can. It's just that she felt a little at lost.
It was like when she had a very good friend in Form 1. Then he transfered to another school. To her every friend is like a treasure to be kept. They kept contact with one another for the next five years, but he had his own life in another place, and gradually they just lost contact. She wondered, how they just started talking to each other like they knew each other for years when they first met, and now they hardly know of each others' existence. He is somewhere out there, in this same little piece of land, but they never contacted each other anymore. The friendship that had grown so strongly crumbled like dust.
Another friend of hers knew her since primary school. She has no idea why that friend admires her so much. She still remembers when how her friend would tell her friend's mother excitedly what a good friend she was. Now, she has no idea where that other girl was, probably more successful than she is now. Maybe it is best not to see her again, so that she would be remembered as a successful person. Another of her friend who dropped out of her life although there was a time when they did everything together.
And now, it is the same with him. Ever since he got a girlfriend, he hardly talks to her anymore. Well, he has got new priorities now, what would he care about a friend who has nothing to do with him? And he will be like her friends before him, slowly fading away from her life. For she will meet new friends again, and so would he.
Sometimes, in the quiet of the night, she would spread out the memories of long ago. Memories, all that was left of those withered friendships. She has no idea why she still clings to these faded old memories, maybe they reminded her of those happy times. Sometimes it hurts to feel that she has lost those friends, that they couldn't go on being good friends forever. Maybe someday she will meet them again and she would thank them for those happy memories. For these memories are the the best gifts that one could ever have, although the friends are no longer here.

she should talk to him. bottling up things doesn't help.
I have seen so many people in our lives coming and leaving. Life is sometimes like a long long trip on which we will see a lot of passers-by. So just let it be and adapt to it, since we can change nothing but live with it. You should always remember that in this world nothing will be forever except for knowledge.
Hope you can still live a happy life!!^_^
