What Now

AWKWARD AND WEIRD

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you suddenly don't know how to talk to one of your friends anymore? I mean, you can still talk and everything, but it's suddenly weird and awkward? It's like something subtle has changed, and you weren't notified?
You start talking with them and you don't know any differently, and you might make a joke or say something that has always been a funny between you and they don't laugh or you try and talk about something that you've always talked about and they change the subject? It's like you just told a dirty joke to the Pope or something. Then you want to ask if something is wrong or if you've suddenly started making them feel awkward and weird, but the question it's self makes YOU feel awkward and weird because you know they are going to lie and say no, even if you do. Then you feel even more awkward and weird and it gets to the point that you don't talk to them anymore just to avoid the feeling and then suddenly you realize it's been years since you've talked to them and then you miss them, but the feeling you make them feel awkward and weird never really ever went away, so you don't try to contact them and the you find out they've died or something and then it's too late to do anything and then you spend the rest of your miserable life wishing they had just told you the truth about whatever changed in the first place and saved you the trouble of freaking out over it?!!!!

SIGH.

Why can't people just be honest?
