Of Course.

We were best friends. At times, even more than that. Things were slowly going downhill, and we weren’t acknowledging it. Or I wasn’t. You asked me if I thought we would still be talking in a few years. My response was automatic. ‘Of course. Why wouldn’t we be?’ I didn’t think much of it for a few minutes, but then it hit me. You wouldn’t have asked unless it was eating away at your conscience.

I don’t know. Things change.

Sometimes I look back and wish that I had just been oblivious and not asked. But I know I made the right choice. You gave me my first dose of reality. It also made sense that you would go on to break something very precious of mine.
