"Did we fall out a bit?" he asked suddenly. And oh, I knew the answer to that one.
"...Yeah." A moment of silence followed, but I still had an obligation to speak. "Do we need to talk about it?"

I knew he was right. But I was unprepared. The nature of our conversations had been mournful lately, and I wasted all my time lamenting about the past instead of thinking of how to go forward. He seemed so hard to read lately though, and I knew that no move would be safe. I was walking on eggshells out of necessity until he could prove to me that things could be different. I didn't want to lose him. But a statement had to be made, and a frank one at that.
"I'm still confused about it. All I know is that it makes me sad", I jested uneasily, but it was true. And somehow, despite my anticipation of a long-winded discussion about our friendship, his response was surprisingly easy.

You didn't have to ask me twice.
"Yes," I laughed with relief.
