I’ve had a lot of “we had a thing once” relationships.
You know the kind that i’m talking about. The kind of relationships you have with somebody for a few days, a few weeks, possibly a few months and then all of sudden.. radio silence.
Some of these break off communication situations have reasons. Your chemistry didn’t work out after all, he/she said something wrong to fuck it up, you both were on two different levels. Whatever. Then, there are the cases where you actually have no idea what happened. It just fizzled out into thin air and no one spoke of it again.
I have a lot of those.
If we cross paths again i’m met with the same awkward thoughts in the back of my head, “didn’t we.. have a thing once? what happened?” Because this person i’m now standing in front of bullshitting a conversation with is the same person I probably had some deep, intimate conversation with last year, who I thought could potentially be somebody to me.
Even through tumblr (or any social network for that matter). People i’ve connected to on a level outside of friendship and the same thing happens where what we had just dead’s it self out of no where. When they like one of my posts or comment on something i’m like, ‘what happened to us?’ And really, it can be easy just asking that person for the answer instead of digging around in your brain. But sometimes you really can’t explain why you stopped talking to that person. Or why they stopped talking to you. As quickly as lust brings two people together, the disintegration of that feeling can be just as rapid and without notification. And most times, they just end up being people with the memory title, “we had a thing once.”
