Once Upon A Time - Two Friends

They met out of the blue, on this social networking dating site. They had stepped out of there comfort zones hoping to dwell into a close knit acquaintance that they gelled well into, knitting a world of there own. They confided in each other despite coming from confined lifestyle's altogether, which had there own flaws & advantages(there individual part of stories, the social stigmas, pressures & issues of distressful dilemmas to deal with) which they were now ready to confront & shell out with each other, trying to find peace. They would stay together, apart from sharing bed there was absolutely everything and anything that they would share or do under one roof. From scrubbing floors to washing utensils, cooking food to wandering around together, traveling to places, watching movies, listening to songs, getting drunk, getting high, shopping, downloading stuff & often cursing the internet, cribbing, criticizing, fighting & enjoying every bit together. Until one day, things started to bring spoon full discomfort(emotional, mental or physical) unknowingly or knowingly. There were reasons for story coming to an halted pause, (I won't say it ended, since there were no goodbye's.) There could have been paragraphs and essays, but eventually it was silence that had sympathized with the two & kept them apart, Somewhere, somehow they knew, that it was about time letting it go & not being in touch anymore like they used to, was the only way out to keep them away from unnecessary bothering. Putting an end to a self venting stage, that might have lasted for sometime to avail or no avail...just like that. Whosoever was at fault, the other didn't cursed or complained or questioned or gave any explanations. It was the right thing to do. ‘Heartfelt emotions sealed into an envelope to a friend, that was never send across - The untold, was folded & kept - never to be told". There would still be this fondness that would crave for a longing to have lasted a little longer & kept them together, irrespective of odds. No matter how much of there side of story weighed. It was understood in bits & pieces. Giving importance to the unnecessary had bridged a necessary gap between the two. It could have been a long lasting one, but then, I guess everything and everyone comes to a point, where one realizes that things could only last for a time frame. You don't have to be alike to like someone or be liked in the same way to be with someone. You can't be friends, just because you have to be. There can be several reasons which one could find to befriend or unfriend someone. Everyone needs their own space, which had to be equivalently parallel in transparency & not otherwise. We could be lost forever, in our own worlds, into our own spaces, but when we were together, wasn't it a good idea, if we could be lost in each other or lost together, dwelling into things that were relevant. Friendship can have many terminologies, but then as they say 'relationships are made in heaven' (which are real life series & not reel) & if they did, they would have been mended right away, unless they were destined not to. We often find refuge into a sense of security that could not abandon us. We could think, behave or relate alike. But then its hard to like someone, when you often are not sure if you are equally being liked in the same way irrespective of odds & most importantly if at all you understood each other & if you did, you could reciprocate well & things wont go wrong. We all had our set of problematic issues with ready explanations & we as human idiots are habitual of committing sins. Whatever be our past we are just involved evolving around the present hiding, irrespective of being frightened about the future to the core. They say you could love or like one or many, but you could never hate the one you love or like, until you are being hated or not being liked or loved anymore or there memories were completely erased or deliberately killed. Love for that matter is a pretty strong word to describe a relationship. Whatever it was, there was something, that brought them close & holding them into staying together, no matter for as little or much time they could or possibly would. The moments of time spend together often haunt. Good & bad memories burst like a cloud of drizzle at times & you are caught in this nostalgia. Lost & forgotten about each other for a while, there faded faces would hide behind the shades of grey, eventually waiting to pour out someday, one day, if at all through & through, day or night, that breeze & that sunshine would bring out a smile or a frown on there faces, which would make them remember, they were friends once...once upon a time. In remembrance, let thee friendship rest in peace, with all thy love - Anonymous
