FRIENDS TALK

[Shinogu]

Nothing much. Tomorrow is my ex-boyfriend's birthday. I decided not to get him anything for his birthday but I may give him a call.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Has he gotten any better?

[Shinogu]

Well, I am not sure. The last I heard is that he failed that test. I haven't spoken to him since Wednesday, so yeah.

[Cloud Leonhart]

How was he when you spoke to him? Like...his tone? Was it cheery, depressing, what?

[Shinogu]

Well, it wasn't cheery. He sounded a bit upset or down but he was telling me that everything is fine but I didn't buy it. He said that nothing is wrong except for what happened on the exam the other day. I know that he doesn't want me to know that he has problems and I understand.

[Cloud Leonhart]

So you're gonna leave him be?

[Shinogu]

I don't know what else could I do. Maybe he wants me out of his life, so I don't want to force myself into him. I would love to be friends with him but I think that would be difficult at the moment. I believe that it is difficult for lovers to turn into friends. What do you think?

[Cloud Leonhart]

I think it depends on how hard the breakup was and how much the two loved eachother. If it wasn't too severe, they can be friends. But more often then not, they tend to avoid eachother.

[Shinogu]

In our case, it is a bit difficult to be friends. Our relationship wasn't that easy. We loved each other a lot but it seems that there were lots of obstacles and that made the breakup severe. I can see that he is trying to avoid looking at me sometimes.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Perhaps he thinks the breakup is his fault, and that's why?

[Shinogu]

Maybe. That could be it. I don't know what to do anymore, so I decided to just let things be. If he wants to talk to me, he knows where to find me. I already did my share. I talked to him and I offered my friendship but maybe he doesn't want it, so I can do nothing more.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Maybe he doesn't want it because it hurts him or something?

[Shinogu]

Yes, it could hurt him but it hurts me too. Anyway, do you think it is a good idea to give him a call on his birthday or should I just forget about it?

[Cloud Leonhart]

Do what you feel is right. ^_^

[Shinogu]

My head tells me to just forget about it but my heart says something else, so which of them should I follow?

[Cloud Leonhart]

Your heart, of course. ^_^ It's better to regret something you did do then to regret something you didn't...or so they say.
