Soon!

I hate feeling as though I have an obligation to someone.
And maybe it's kinda rude to point out a particular group of someones,
but I'm talking about family.
I compare family to the group of kids who you've been going to school with since kindergarten.
You've known them since forever, so it's rude to ignore them if you ever see them around,
so simply out of kindness, you always have to stop and say hello,
if you ever see them out and about.
You ask those questions, the stupid questions like,
How's life?
What have you been up to?
And at the end of the talk you have to say
Well, I'll call you sometime soon!
or one of those
See you soon!
But you both know you don't what the meeting to happen again.
At least, not for a while, because it's just awkward.

More than anything though, it makes me feel kinda sad.
I can't help but feeling awkward with everyone.
Even those old kindergarten friends,
who know me and love me
just like family.
