Friend-lite

Whats a watered-down version of Friendship? Or is there such a thing in the first place?

I hate to sound cliche, but once a vase is broken, how can one mend it? Once a friendship is flawed, is there really a redemption?

Humans are nostalgic by nature. One may reminisce over past moments, the ups and downs. But having seen the flaws, felt the pain, heard the dishonesty, is it worth all the emotional upheavals going through again?

I'm not a money purse for your perusal. Neither am I Santa's present bag.

You said you wanted only to share your precious moments like birthdays and convocation with me. But where are you when I had mine?

Nowhere to be found.

I'm not a convenience commodity. Someone just there to fill the void. I deserve respect too. Not easily brushed off because at the moment, I cannot give you the attention you crave. Or I didn't say the words that soothed your ego.

I've moved on. I acknowledge that we had good times together. But that all ended after our JC days. Not even into Uni. I do not know you then. Same as I do not know you now.

Once bitten twice shy.
