Number Forty-Five: Illusion

----------

He didn't know what to call it exactly.

He knew that he didn't mean anything to the other two.

He knew they didn't mean anything to him.

With the first, the other was there when he said.

With the second, he was there when the other said.

There was nothing 'deep' about it.

No commitment.

No attachments.

They may be there one day.

And be gone the next.

They meant nothing.

He meant nothing.

One was a longtime friend.

The other, a childhood bully.

They only need each other when they want too.

It's not real.

It's all an illusion.
