How do you know when a friend...a close friend is no longer...your friend?
What does it take to drive that final nail into the fence being built between you?
How long do you wait to finally close the book on a friendship? One that brought you joy at one time, but now is just empty.
I've waited much longer than I should have and the cost is higher than I expected...
It's a sad situation to find yourself in a place where the people you used to call friends don't like who you are anymore. When you realize that - to them- you are just another name in their address book. They think that you retreated, but they fool themselves...
The last nail is deceit...it's when they treat you like a gas station.
You'll buy gas from whoever is selling it for less today. You spend no time agonizing about going to one gas station over the next because it doesn't matter. Gas is gas is gas is...gas. It's all the same and who ever is selling it for less is who you like today. No loyalties with gas stations. If the place that you normally go to is selling it for a cent more than they guy across the street you go across the street and save 15 cents. Hey, 15 cents is...15 cents when there are no loyalties. No fences.
Goodbye old friend. I'm sure I'll see you again...when my price is lower than the guy across the street...or when you are just bored enough to stop in.
By the way, I'll probably be busy...
