Never let some things to wither

Everything can be so hectic and busy with our lives,
Sometimes we tend to overlook small things
When a friend you've known since a long time tried to maintain contact with you
Even though you never reply back or even say hi
A friend who tried to be sincere and hoping that you reply back

You said you don't want things to change before
But the time and distance has changes relationship
Your friend looked up at the social network pages, seeing how you reply to the other friends
He felt that it was ok, probably you forgot or just too busy
When you were about to leave home, he even tried to get your number
Calling you, accompanying you during the time you went to the airport
Promised him to call back or send a message

Another days has gone by, the friends thought that you were busy again
Asked for your numbers again from the others
Even sending you birthday greetings

Still, no word from you
He tried to call you when you were away with your friends, and asked him to talk later
One day you were online on his messenger list
He greets you, tried to talk on how things goes
But you only replied to him like he was an unknown person you just met
This made him felt neglected, as if he only exist on his own mind as a friend of yours

He tried not to give up on you, he knows you are having a hectic and busy day
One more SMS, he though... to cheer you up
You did reply, only to that message...
I guess people has change on me, he thought
Seeing how you treat the others still as your close friends

The things that will made him wither away from your memory
He laughed at the time when him and you having wonderful conversation with each others
A bitter laugh, because he felt that good old time isn't there anymore
Only staring at that empty room in the corner
Wondering to himself, that he probably isn't suited as your best friend
Seeing how you treat the others quite well

He felt alone in that corner
Only waiting to be withered away from your memory...
The next time you meet him, he wouldn't be exist anymore, just an empty shell of who he was from the old days....
