Changing Pains

You know, this moving from being a couple to being friends does not feel good. (chuckle....I have to laugh at myself.) It's not like it is supposed to feel good. What feels good about basically closing up a part of you that was once open? You don't call as often....not much at all. You don't make plans to hang out. You loose the companionship. You don't talk or share about things going on with you very often. It is interesting how quickly a person can get used to these things and how hard it is to not have it. In the past I would have just said, "Nah, we can't be friends. There has to be time and space." I think that is what naturally happens without having to verbalize it...the distancing and spacing. This is the part where most people either change their minds, disconnect totally, or become aquaintances. We'll see where it goes.
