The person walking beside me is my best friend. We have a decade of friendship under our belt and understand each other on a level others wouldn't understand.

Inseparable and connected by the hip. Physical distance had once made things less convenient, but our friendship remains as strong as ever.

Today, I'm walking beside someone I barely recognize and I wonder if they feel the same about me.

I have so much love for them and countless memories, but maybe that's all there is now. We have different priorities and it makes it hard for either of us to relate to each other. A once comfortable silence feels deadly now with our recent bickering.

We continue walking, the sound of our breathing filling the silence. I wonder if we're both reminiscing on our good history.
