They used to be on my mind all the time, longing for the moment I could sit and talk with them or even just be in their presence. I would do everything all at once just to have an hour of their time. NO INTERRUPTIONS. Just to be with them, I would do anything for them.  

One day everything changed, no matter how hard I worked, how fast I worked. No matter how much work I did to make up for lost time, it seemed I was never enough for them. We went from having days of catching up, doing nothing but watching movies or letting the wind blow in our faces on a night drive, to barely speaking for five minutes.  

I wonder what they are up to now. Do they miss me? Was it me who was too busy for them? When can we go back to the way it was? Laughing all night at nothing, singing to kid’s movies that neither of us have time to watch, too busy with work. 

Who knows?
