where do they go?
those people who tell you, "we'll be friends, forever..." those people who say, "i will always love you..." and, the people who say, "you'll always be a part of my life..."
where do they go?
do you wake up one morning, reflecting on conversations and glances and touches and feelings shared between the two of you? are you suddenly reeling and breathless at the realization they are no longer there? are they no longer your friend, and do they occupy no space within your present life?
did they tell you they were leaving? did they explain that if they disappear slowly, it won't hurt you as much? did they tell you that it's better this way, or that you'll be better off without them? did they say things have changed? their life? your life? the space between you?
or did they just tell you to fuck off, and walk away?
or did they just disappear, and say nothing at all?
which one is better? worse? do they both hurt the same?
should they tell you? should they just walk away? which choice shows more respect, for whatever you'd once shared? which one disregards everything?
what could be so different, could have changed so much? what could have turned always into never again?
where the hell do they all go? and, why do i still wonder why?
