Some friendships don’t end- they just fade
<p>There’s always that one friend.</p><p>The one who was once the loudest cheerleader. The one who made victories sweeter, failures softer, and ordinary days feel like something special.</p><p>The one you thought would always be there.</p><p>Then life happened. Distance grew. Words became fewer. One day, the silence wasn’t just temporary, it was permanent.</p><p>Now, that one friend is just a familiar stranger.</p><p>A number you hesitate to dial. A face you recognize but don’t know anymore. A name you type out in messages you’ll never send.</p><p>Not because you don’t miss them. Not because you don’t care. But because some friendships don’t break, they just dissolve into something unrecognizable.</p><p>And the hardest part? Achievements don’t feel like achievements anymore because that one friend isn’t there to say “Nice one.”</p><p>Happiness doesn’t feel complete because that one friend was once the biggest part of it.</p><p>But people change. And sometimes, the people we knew so well become people we will never understand again.</p><p>Still, if they ever laughed with you, cried with you, or made life lighter for even a moment, then maybe they were never truly lost.</p><p>Maybe they’re just written into your story in a different way now.</p><p>A past chapter. A soft memory. A name that still feels like home, even if you’ll never go back to it.</p><p>And that’s okay.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
