So I have this friend. I'm sure we all have them.
You used to be inseparable. Every day you spoke. You saw each other nearly as frequently. You went to movies and bars and made jokes and new friends. You laughed together until dehydration set in from the amount of tears streaming down your face.
But then something happened. It may have been a move, a job change, or a new relationship started. Whatever the catalyst, the phone calls become less frequent and the time together even more sparse. Eventually months would slip by without even a phone call or a thought. Time and that friendship seemed to slip away from you.
Today I got to spend time with one of those friends. What a blast.
Perhaps it is the absence that makes the time you get to reunite so meaningful and cherished.
Although I hate that the fates caused us to become more distant, I love that when we see each other again, we can pick up where we left off and we have so much more to catch up on. I truly am thankful for the time I get to spend with long-lost friends.
