Oh… now that’s a tragic question to pose. A friend distanced by land or commitments but will that yearning be just that. Will spending time together be as good as you thought it would be. would you drift because the yearning is so intense that the meeting pales in comparison.
I would hate that. I don’t think I could live and love properly if this were to come to pass.
Beautifully crafted question but heartbreaking concept.
It’s a scary realisation that I hope never to have. I mostly lose people cause they’re done with me.
I might not have many people in my life but I work to keep them.
Rhetorical question, isn’t it. Of course you would handle it. It’s all a matter of shifting the label “best friend” away from that which fell apart and saving it for the next go-round.
Yeah, I did that on purpose. It allows for more interpretation if people notice it. Kind of like Bokeh. I initially had the period at the end of the first line as a typo, but I actually liked the way it broke up the thought. 😊
We might ask ‘what if’ forever! The only inevitability is that what we choose to do becomes a part of our learning and self-discovery. Revel in uncertainty! I enjoyed reading this Sarah, thanks again 🙂
Time is always a question we can’t answer. What if something (like death) separates us? I’m not sure what I would do, but I do know that it was worth it. 😊 Thank you!

I agree. There’s so many variables involved, many of which point to losing that person.

Work to keep ’em? I work to lose ’em and they keep coming back! Maybe that “what you resists, persists” does work after all – who’d a thunked it!

I love how you broke the lines in this one. Especially:
“What if this yearning
for more turns
into a lie?”
I like how “for more turns” almost gives it a different meaning. Like it’s a yearning for more turns to try again and again. 😀 Maybe it’s just me.

Yeah, I might change it to an em dash or something, because it does leave the next two lines incomplete. I’m still tossing that around.
