What if friendship can become unbalanced? What if you talk and talk and talk and I listen and listen and listen? What if you borrow, borrow, borrow and I share, share, share? What if you take, take, take and I finally begin to feel used?

What if I love you but because of this imbalance, the friendship begins to drift apart?

What if 20 years later, you surprised me with a kind repayment?
