Why?

There are times when you sit and talk the night away with a friend. But all of a sudden you do not want to listen to what they have to say. You make excuses for not picking up the phone and when you talk you really have nothing to contribute to the conversation. The same person who used to make you laugh now makes you frown. You try to tell them you need space but they try to push you in a corner asking why why why? They want to know everything and anything that’s in your head. You might be busy doing some work and they would want to know what you are doing. You be patient and explain it to them, …“but why are you doing that?” …“Can’t she do it herself?”…

You wonder whatever happened to that easy friendship and days of listening to music and talking about nothing and everything. Why is there a void now? Why do they have to question you when they never used to? Why don’t they try to respect your space like you respect theirs? And when you explain everything, they still come back and ask… “Tell me what’s wrong?” Arghhhh!
