Sometimes I wonder, will things always be the same?

Friends I used to see often have become casual acquaintances.

Too busy in their own worlds to reach out to me.

Too removed from my reality to reach out to them.

I don’t want to be reminded of what I don’t have.

Date nights and crying babies are now their existence.

While I sit at home and watch re-runs of Criminal Minds.

 

And so I wonder,

My new friends, will they also become acquaintances?

When our journey ends, will their worlds be too different from mine to connect?

Are all of our declarations of love just empty promises?

Are these feelings just temporary?

 

Will I return to being a friendship nomad?

I long to belong again.
