I try..

It's kind of hard to go a couple days without talking to A. Not because he's my boyfriend or anything but because he's been around since 2005. I suppose I owe some thanks to University exams for temporarily derailing our friendship, as I do every year. But for some reason this year seems different. Our conversations dwindled throughout the year and now it may as well be nothing. With a short exchange of the formalities such as 'how are you?' or 'what are you up to?' I'm beginning to get scared; what if the friendship is falling apart?

Does friendship ever have an expiry date?
Does A even realise this?
