the twist of fate

Anything could happen
It's weird how life works
yes its unpredictable but somehow everyone tries to make themselves ready for it.
you set out to find great friendships and great relationships with optimism but know anything could happen.
you could lose that friend and the relationship could end.
Once again you try to make yourself ready for that.

Promises
made to be broken?
I don't believe that.
No one wishes for it to be broken
Everyone gives it all a try just with the same optimism they do about life..but they know anything could happen so why even make it at all?
why give a shot at the great things in life too?

Fading
things fade
friendships , relationships, passion to hold the promise.
For the greater good or to make it easy, regardless of the promise that it would  never fade.

you know what I find really weird.. the going after a great relationship part.
Why?
Because to me, its tied to friendship.
what if you valued the friendship?
what if prior to the relationship talking was fun?
what if prior to the relationship it was like having a best friend and that increased even more during.
then everything goes well but that friendship still has to come to an end when the relationship does..why?


When you're young you're given the option of many humans and you can find the ones you connect with
now if nothing bad happens, you gain a long lasting close friend
now what if life told you that you can't have that friend anymore
but this wasn't because promises were broken or something bad happened
this was only because you tied yourself to the person.

okay it gets confusing right about here but I'll make it easier
why can't long lasting close friendships happen after a relationship?
it sounds good in theory but life tells you in practice it has to fade.
This is regardless of choices or control of feelings or space.
you made a good friend, but you can't be close anymore just because you dated?

most don't have that issue because who wants to be close friends with an ex when it didn't end so well
best you get is usually familiarity and a once in a blue moon checkup.
but when it ends well...why would anyone want that?
it makes sense for the greater good,
I mean really which future partner would be okay with their boy/girlfriend being close with an ex where things didn't really end as per the usual..things didn't end weird.. things were really good in fact.
it only makes sense, she/he is in the right if she wanted the ex gone
but not in the right and would be forced to adjust to a girl best friend if they never actually dated.

so then it makes sense, as its only fair.
a friendship is lost because the relationship didn't end in despair.
its sad on the other side because nothing went wrong
you just lost a close friend to checkups
because space doesn't make sense when it will never be the same
that was the mistake
was it worth it?
that's the question, because life is so unpredictable
space to heal is just the intro to the inevitable fate of fading away
because that's what happens anyway
especially when the new one comes along
you can't be close again
and don't stand a chance
whats meant to happen will happen they say
but what if you just blew that.
