Yesterday I called a good friend because it was two months ago since we've talked and I wanted to ask him if he had time during the holidays. I didn't intend to spend much time on that matter but in the end we'd talked for over two hours, which was funny and kind of strange. Do you know that feeling when you have a conversation that takes a lot of time and at some moment you notice that everything is said and you don't know what topic you could discuss now? This is the moment you've talked too long and'll leave an awkward feeling/ mood (?) behind.
It's a really important matter when to end a conversation - to leave a good feeling. There is this German saying: "Man soll aufhören, wenn es am schönsten ist.", which is similar to "Always stop at the top." Ok, we still had topics to discuss about. However, the best moment was over.
But this is not what was bothering me so much. He told me about an incident which was long ago, about ten years ago, I think. Somehow I don't remember anything at all. Even if that was a kind of intimate matter. Strange...
