Sometimes people come into your life and leave pretty quickly, before you can really get attached. It might be in the form of a fling, or a friend from class, but they're there and gone before you start to care too much.

Sometimes people come into your life and stay. You get attached, you form close bonds, sometimes you fall in love with them, but no matter what happens, they're there through thick and thin. They'll stick around until one of you dies, most likely.

And then there are people who come into your life, stay awhile, and disappear. You feel like the two of you are so very close. You've shared a lot, you've talked a lot, and you've got feelings for the person. They may be feelings of platonic love, or outright deep affection, but either way, you care about this person and they care about you. Then something happens. Life gets in the way, or their job makes more demands on them, or they find new friends. You talk to them less and less. You wait to hear from them, but nothing. Once in a great while they'll reach out and make contact, but other than that, nothing. And you're left with a great empty hole where that person once was, and nobody can fill it.

What happened to us? You were my best friend, my sister, my other half. I thought I was the same to you. I sit around some nights just waiting for you to contact me. A tweet, a Facebook message, a comment in my DW. Anything. What happened?

Is it me?
