Friendships

Friends come and go.

Friends disappear.

Some friendships don’t always last.

You’re lucky if your friendship does last.

A lot of time they start forgetting to stay in contact.

Your days together become less and less.

You start forgetting each other.

Their faces fade away along with the memories.

It’s really difficult to keep a friendship going.

You forget each other, get too busy to hang out, meet new people,

And start hanging out with other friends.

Depression starts and loneliness begins.

Friendships are pretty sad sometimes.

Those friendships that last are the special ones.

With those kinds of friendships you need to hold on to them.

Those friendships are rare  and special.

Those who have that kind of friendship I wish you luck and work hard to make that last forever.

This is why I tell my friends I don't believe in long distance relationships. Although that's more friendship, I wouldn't know well for relationships. Usually when I spend time apart from friends, I tell them that I won't be the one to always start the conversation and I'll wait and I'll wait and as they don't start a conversation my thoughts will wander and I'll think back to the days we hung out together and I'll see everything I didn't before, and I'll let them go because clearly, it was a one-sided relationship. Friendships are like that, like relationships, it can't be one-sided otherwise it won't work. And besides, friends aren't necessary but conversations with strangers are. Let's you think about things you're friends otherwise wouldn't. But that could totally just be me. Anyway, I'll stop rambling. Thanks for sharing this. Short and to the point but holds a powerful message.

Thank you so much for reviewing.It is very hard to keep friends. I miss my 2 best friends but one of them has a kid and married and is a stay at home mom. She has friends where she lives that has kids as well so I fear that she forgot about me and our other friend, but I am a little happy that she's happy though it hurts me sometimes.

Well, I know someone whose kind of like that. She told me that she hadn't spoken to some of her friends in years because she's supporting two kids as a single mom and is always working. But when she does talk to her friends every now and then, nothing between them has changed. It's not something I have experience with but it isn't always gonna go sour. Everyone lives different lives, after all.
