When Connections Fade

I once talked to someone online who felt… weirdly important. We never met. Never called.

But we talked every day. He knew my routine, my moods, the way I disappear

when I’m tired. And somehow that felt like closeness. Then one day, the replies slowed.

No fight. No goodbye. Just silence that pretended to be normal.

Weeks passed and I kept thinking, ‘Maybe he’s just busy.’ But busy doesn’t

erase people. And that’s when it hit me— some connections don’t end.

They just… fade.
