Dumped, by app

We'd played each other on the song guessing app for six years, ever since we were matched up when I visited Iceland in 2016; we both liked Classic Rock and stuck to 70s playlists For a few weeks one year (2022) I was "out of sorts" and didn't log in; when I next opened the app I saw Haraldur had terminated our six-year rivalry I mean, I led him by 540 to 86 games, he was a bit slow, but I valued our unspoken international alliance It stung for a while but my main concern was that my wife, whenever I played the game, always asked me how 'your friend Olaf' was doing And now I just can't admit that he's no longer my friend I am 55 years old
