Slowly Drifting Apart

That moment when I saw him again after a long time, I was looking forward to catch-up with him, to be with an old friend once again. When it was just the two of us, I thought we could be back to normal, but I was surprised to see that even for him I already have a wall put up, that I didn't let him through, that what seemed to be our usual conversation, all bubbly and random, was pretty much silent, our hearts just beating, dying in the silence of our surroundings. I thought we could be okay, but then I guess life has just to happen and we have to grow and sometimes, growing means we have to grow apart as well. I wanted to cry just when I realized that it could never be the same anymore.
