No Longer Friends

And, you still have, NO clue what happened between the two of you, translated…

Xiao-Wei was one of my best friends in middle school, as I’d accidentally bumped into her on the MRT, I was so excited I’d gone up to her to say “hi”, but she’d stated plainly, that she saw me several times before. Since that time when I’d bumped into her, because we took similar routes to work, it’d become norm that we’d, met up with each other regularly.

But, Xiao-Wei never took the initiatives to say hello, and, our conversations stopped with the general greetings of strangers, there was, NO sense of that connection, that closeness we’d once shared in our teenage years. Once, I’d limped my fractured leg toward the priority seats. I’d, lifted my head, caught her light smiles, there was, a tall gentleman beside her, but, she seemed to not be the least bit interested in introducing him to me.

not my animation…

Actually, we’d still kept contact after middle school, and during the summer and winter vacations, we’d gone out to shop at the bookstores too, and sent one another birthday presents. And, this friendship slowly grew cold, after she’d entered into a public organization to work, and I’d gone abroad to study, to marrying and having children.

Counting it, it’d been, about a year since I last bumped into her on the MRT, don’t know if she’d transferred, or if she’d, retired? I still never worked up the courage to ask her, what, happened to our friendship?

So, something MUST have happened between the two of you, it’s just, that you don’t remember now, but, your friend does, and, she’d, held on to that grudge for so very long, which caused it to become, so difficult, for her, to be as close to you as she had been back in the day, and, you still don’t have a clue what it was, that you’d done, to get her to react to you this way, and, you probably never will, and, this friend was, lost through time for you…

that rip between two of you became so hard to mend now, and the worst part is you don’t even know or remember WHAT it was that you’d done!  Not my cartoon.
