Capricorn

Some friendships end not because anyone did anything wrong, but because one person got tired of always being the one to reach out first. You can trace the pattern back through months of text threads where your name appears twice for every once that theirs does, calls you made that were returned days later, plans you suggested that required your follow-up to actually happen. The friendship was real, but so was the weight of carrying it. When you finally stopped reaching out, the silence that followed was not a surprise. It was the sound of a question getting answered.
