Due to circumstances, or to time, the two of them simply seem to be far, far away from each other, one never to be grasped, another an impossibility. But what is one to do: we must let time play its role, let life happen and let things go and remember each moment and gesture as much (hard) as you can and live with those.
Otherwise visit each other in the dead of the night and declare nothing. Question is, where are you these days?
