How is it going?

　　"How have you been lately?"
　　"Pretty good. How about you?"
　　We're all masters of our own drama, our casual conversations carrying a subtle, enigmatic tension that transcends the usual pleasantries between friends.
　　A simple "Let's keep in touch" ends the conversation with a drawn-out, abrupt ending!
　　May time treat us gently, and may all we encounter be beautiful!
