almost stranger’s.. again
It’s been about 4 years since I broke up with my boyfriend at the time, now ex. Now I’m not here to reminisce, miss, or compare him to my boyfriend right now. Just a random thought that came through my mind while just checking up on his facebook.. which I haven’t in a long time (so please don’t think I’m some crazy stalker ex-girlfriend).
It’s weird to think that the person you were once the closest to is the person you’re slowly forgetting in your memory. If you’ve ever seen Wong Fu’s “Strangers Again” video, you’ll probably understand where I’m trying to get at. So my ex got this “timeline” thing on facebook and so I decided to see what happened through the year’s we dated.. I clicked Timeline, 2006. We became friends on facebook, cool. Timeline, 2007.. oh hey there’s our turnabout pictures & what’s this? A video of him playing the guitar. Hmm, looks familiar lemme play it. It was a very complex piece played by Eric Turnbull called Low C. At this moment, I realized that I had completely forgotten that he picked up the guitar and got really good at it within a week. I have completely forgotten that he can do the rubix cube in 45 seconds. I’m starting to forget about that relationship (which is probably good because I’m in another one haha). But it’s so strange how that happens.. or maybe I’m just easily amused hahaha. We try to keep up with our friendship but due to relationship reasons we barely talk to each other.. BARELY (which is probably also good because we’re both in a relationship hahaha). The memories start to fade and things get more vague. The songs we used to call “our songs” is rapidly becoming easier to listen to without feeling any emotion. Out of My League by Stephen Speaks was a song he dedicated to me, but now it’s a song I think to myself when I know that one guy friend will never have a chance (sorry if I sound slightly conceited). Everything is constantly changing.. from old to new. It’s funny how I still remember everything about my once used to be friends but I’m slowly forgetting things about my relationship with him.
We talk every once in a blue moon, & we’re still friends. I never said I forgot about our friendship, just forgetting about the relationship.. and I think that’s how it should be. It’s good to know heartbreaks don’t last forever!
