Hypothetically

Two people, hypothetically close friends. They used to hang out with each other a lot, they can't do it now, for a whole bunch of reasons. They are hypothetically still quite close. Well, maybe one of them would like to believe they are still quite close. Their relationship has changed though, at least the one who would like to believe they're still close thinks it has. Nothing wrong with that, they have two hypothetically separate lives, two utterly different hypothetical worlds of problems.

Hypothetically, one of them (the other one, not the one who would like to believe they're still close) doesn't want to listen, however does share many hypothetical problems with the first one and the first one always has to be there when needed... to listen, advise or just say anything to make the other one feel better.

Hypothetically, the first one (this one, who would like to believe, they're still close) has problems too. It's quite natural, life is not a fairy tale, everyone has his ups-and-downs - sometime more, sometimes less important. Hypothetically, the first one would like to share these ups-and-downs with the other one. Unfortunately the other one is only available when he wants to talk, when he needs a piece of advice, when he needs to be told that everything will be okay.

And as a side effect - the first one is quite up-to-date with the other one's life, whilst the other one doesn't know anything about the first one's life anymore. You do the math...

This very hypothetical situation makes me actually really sorrowful. It's overwhelming and I've grown weary of it. I still don't know though, what I could hypothetically do...
