Slipped Away
It's interesting to me how two people who once knew each other so intimately can become virtual strangers. Once upon a time, the two of us were friends as well as lovers. We could tell each other some of our most hidden truths and lean on one another whenever needed. Yet now, six years later, we're both with somebody else and barely say hello.





Some of it is his girlfriend, I'll admit. She's of the jealous, controlling, bats*** crazy variety. Apparently he's not allowed to acknowledge my existence unless she's not around. He wouldn't even make eye contact, though I knew he saw me. Then, the one time we did speak, I was so busy making sure my kid didn't fall---or get pushed---off a slide that we barely exchanged more than basic pleasantries.





We were never serious. More like good friends that enjoyed each others company in and out of the sheets. No titles, no commitments, no real expectations except for a mutual respect for one another. How we crossed the lie from friends to more I don't remember, nor do I recall how we crossed back, but it is clear to me now that sometimes two people can just as easily slip out of a relationship as easity as they slipped into one. The fact that we let our friendship dissove as well is a truth I will always be saddened by, but a truth it still remains.
