we all have 'favorites'
from movies, food, music, hobbies
the list is no ending
but having favorite people is beyond compare

we build memories with them
we established relationships
they are part of who you are
they makes us happy and comforted

but life in retrospect, our favorite people becomes strangers

the people that pops in our head the moment we got big news
the people we are so eagerly to see and hug whenever we're low
the people that basically a part of your joyful future

they turn into strangers

for bizarre reasons sometimes we couldn't fathom
they gradually pull away
and you're just there watching them do so
because the truth is

we can't force them to care for you the way you expect them to be
so put extra value for those who chose to stay
show you care and appreciate them
they don't have to be many
you don't have to be loved and adore by many
just keep on treating them right
and if one day

one day..

they decide to walk away from you
you get to smile while holding back your tears
saying to yourself...

"That stranger used to be my favorite"
