Remember those kids you used to play with??

Those kids you called your friends for the longest time?

They made you happy, made you smile, turned even your worst day into a ray of sunshine.

yeah, those kids.
You're closest relatives; cousins, siblings... you're best friends for atleast all your childhood.

they grow up, too soon. And they slowly tear away into their own paths leaving you in the dust most occasions. You have to remind them you're there just to go back to 'old time's sake'.
Doesn't feel good, does it?

I know. I know.

They'll stick around, sure, still be your friend and have your side. Not like the younger times- they're more occupied or find time alone without you and newer friends more fun. You're old news.

someday, you'll experience it too- and it'll feel like part of you, has been ripped apart.

It's alright though, just embrace it. It was fun while it lasted wasn't it?
Keep trying youngins, some friends just need to recall the old times and you're back to the start. Remember the truest ones stick by your side, no matter. If not, embrace the memories you had together.
