Friends

Do we have transitional friends?
Sometimes when we let our guard down and think, we get upset over lost friendships; friendships that could have gone a long way. It is saddening when you have to let the best friendships go because of matters that are not supposed to matter. I know, that through the years, several friendships that have been lost to me. Is it entirely my fault? No, but I could have put more of an effort into the friendship. Instead, I let things or people get in the way. In the end, it all comes down to how much effort and what it was that tore the friendship apart. Sometimes it is just distance and sometimes it is more.
People say time will heal all things, but can it really heal anything?
The world is so ever changing nowadays; you never know which friend will stay for good, which will go. Or when the ones you love will leave you.
