Coward

What do you expect?

What do you want, if you do something for someone?
Do you want something in return, or do you just want to please the other?

When you, 'just'  want to please the other, the thngs are pretty simple. You succeed, and the other is happy, or you fail, and the other is not happy. Most likely you will get rewarded with a happy face, and that, while you were not expecting that.

When you do something to get something in return, the reactions can be a bit more complicated. Maybe the other does not want to give you something in return, or maybe (s)he gives you something in return what disappoints you.

When you have build up somethnig, together with someone else, who often called you 'friend', you get to know each other better.  If you observe the other well, you not need to be surpised with his attitude.
When you have seen the reaction of the other in situations, you can form an image of what might be expecting you, sooner or later.

When you have seen, that the other never has the guts to complete or end a situation, you should not be surprised when similar happens to you, sooner or later.
When the other is too cowardly to tell exactly what (s)he thinks, you can not expect that (s)he all the sudden is honest and open to you, at the moment that (s)he has to be.

So, it should not surprise me, at the moment that I am 'served off', that it is going in silence. And that I only notice it coincidentically,  what (s)he did.
And even when it does not surprise me, it hurts a bit. Because I, me myself, do not use the word friendship easy.
For me the word friendship means, that you can be open in telling the other things, good and bad.
When you not have the guts to tell me what is going on, it will not be a surprise.

That is the moment that I will cut trhrough the lines for you.
You can not do it, appearantly.  And I will do it, so that I can close the chapter, and open the door for new, different challenges.
And if we meet (it will happen), I can look streight into your eyes, without needing to run away.  I think I nnow you well enough, to know how you will react when it is that far.
