lost friendships

This morning I read something a old friend had wrote and for some reason it made me so sad. It really made me think about friendships and those that have faded in my life. I know that some friendships come and go, some are only friends in your life for a season, you learn they learn. While typically I am sad at first when a friendship ends for whatever reason over time I usually can get over it and move on, coming to peace that that friend and I were only meant to be friends during that period of time. I have one old friend however that decided for certain reasons to I guess distance herself. I was confused and lost. She had been a one of my closest friends. I mourned the loss of that friendship, however years later I am saddened by the fact that I feel like I can no longer call her my friend. I feel like once again today I am grieving. Why have I not been able to "move on"? If she reads this, I want her to know that I am once again sincerly sorry for the things that happend. I miss your friendship, and although I am pretty sure that you have moved way way past our friendship I want you to know I still hold it dear in my hands and am thankful for the friendship we had.

It seems so weird saying all this about an old friend, but I believe that losing a friend can be harder then losing a boyfriend. For girls, we usually tell our "best" friends everything, and laugh and cry together through life's exciting great time and through the hardships. You feel like sisters, and to loose them as a friend is to loose a sister. I makes you remember that you can't take your relationships for granted. Perhaps your friendship with someone new or old will be gone before you know it! You have both learned something from it, and maybe in life you will be friends again, but for now we move on whether we want to or not.
