# 021 Of friendships..(cont)

When writing my previous post, I forgot the 4th category of friends - the ones lost forever, friendships beyond redemption. And right now, I'm thinking of two people right at the top of my head. I could probably find some more if I did some serious soul searching, so I won't try. Its not that we fought or vowed to be eternal enemies; there was no grand culmination with rain lashing down and thunder spewing out ominous warnings. It was just a gradual change over time which stemmed from simple misunderstandings or things that should not have been said or feelings that were best hidden. The kind of things that were nobody's fault, they just happened. I guess it wouldn't really matter if we hadn't been so close before, but we were and it does. The trouble is, we can't even bury the hatchet and put it behind us because there isn't one to bury. So what else is there to do but to quietly accept destiny's decision and give in to the bigger plan?

To M- and D-, I'll miss those times; the good old days. And I'll treasure the memories, because that's all that is left.
