Drifting.

There are loads of different reasons that might result in two people drifting. Maybe one of them have done something the other doesn't like, maybe one of them is changing, maybe they have found new friends who they are becoming closer with. Maybe life is just getting in the way.

You know when you're really close with someone, you talk all the time? When you're talking, texting everyday and when you're together it's just so easy and natural, you get along really well.
Then one day, you don't talk. Sure, you might think "one day" wow, big deal, but then the next day you don't talk either. You might talk the third day, but the conversation isn't as long as it might normally be. The texting becomes less frequent, less fluent. And then it stops.

What happened? Why is it that we drifted and stopped talking? Did I do something wrong? As far as I know, I don't think I did, and as far as I know, I don't think they have done anything wrong either. Did I miss something? Did something happened that I overlooked and didn't notice? Or are they just not interested anymore, they don't want to talk or text me anymore? Maybe they've found someone new and fresh to talk to.
Who knows? Maybe they don't know either. Maybe they wonder why we drifted aswell.

Maybe that's how it was meant to be. Whatever our relationship was - our friendship or whatever it was - maybe it's run its course and now it's finished.

I think it's really strange how you can be so close to someone one minute, be with them all the time, talk to them all the time, tell them everything, and a month later - maybe not either a month, maybe a couple of weeks - they might not even be a major part of your life. In a few years time, you might pass them in the street, maybe say hello to each other. Maybe you'll pass each other and recognise them but not be completely sure who they are and just smile to acknowledge the fact that you do recognise them. Before you'd have ran to them, hugged them, been excited to see them and chatted for ages, even though you were texting ten minutes ago.



I'm quite good with names and faces. And I think I'm safe to say that if we were close at some point in our lives, I'll recognise you and know who you are and remember the time when we were close. I hope you remember too, because then I know that I did make some sort of an impression on your life.

Don't forget to remember me.
I'll remember you.
