Rules of the Game

My realationship between me and another person can be compared to a roller coaster.  This other person is, or was my best friend at one point.  At first, we didnt really know eachother, so it would be like the roller coaster ride was just beginning.  After we knew eachother for awhile, we became better friends, and hung out a little.  This would be like we were starting to go up a hill on the coaster.  After time, we became really good friends, we would always talk and have fun together.  This would be like we were hitting the top of the coaster.  Some things would happen, and we would fight.  When we would fight, we wouldn't talk to eachother, so that would be like the roller coaster went down hill.  After awhile of not talking, we would eventually become friends again, this would be like the coaster starting to go up the hill again.  But right now with the realationship between me and my friend, it sort of feels like the coaster went down the hill and off the tracks because we just really dont like eachother at all now.  Thats how I would compare my realationship with my friend to a metaphor.  The metaphor being the roller coaster.
