life's rules on people and relationships

from being able to communicate just by looking at each other and sitting together in comforting silence, sharing inside jokes and reaching the point in friendship where insults make everything more interesting, to the awkward stage where we exchange indolent smiles when we pass each other in hallways, and finally the disturbing breaking point where we unconsciously program ourselves to be oblivious to each other's existence. When we completely avoid eye contact, see through each other and do not exchange so much as a nod or smile of acknowledgement.

Distance and time, the both of you should be exiled from endurance.
