Friends For How Long

How well do we know some one?
Can we base a year or more of friend ship and say we truly know them?

If you revise the friends that you have now how many can you see your self knowing in five years time?

I say this knowing as I write, I am drifting further and further away from the friends that I love and cherish,

knowing that I will only see a few of them once or twice now in the coming months, their is only one or two that I will be friends with in five years and that is only a guess coming from me.

I might not even know any of them at all!

Is it the cycle of life that we lose the people we love as friends and replace with the people we fall in love with?

As I said two articles ago in EXPIRATION FRIENDS,

But maybe it is a good thing to lose some friends, Some times

as we grow older we do take different interests and invalidly different paths.

It is sad when we do drift but maybe sometimes it is for the best a life choice that will bring a new direction

a breath of fresh air to our stale lives for there are different sections to our lives broken up with friends in each category

Baby friends

School friends

After school friends

Work friends

But as I have notice with the older generations that their last friend is the

partner that they spend the rest of their lives with is this true?

will we all eventually drop all our friends just to be with one person the love of our life?

EXPIRATION FRIENDS

I was talking to a friend of mine recently and she asked a puzzling question to me “are we friends?”

So this got me thinking on a subject for you see we both go to school together we hang out and go shopping and share secrets so what are the chances off seeing one another after we both graduate? So here is the question do you have friends with expiration dates

Work friends

School friends

Best friends

Aquaintance friends

But expiration friends can we put a date on friendship?

are we as lhuman beings become so robotic with our feels that we feel the need to discarded after a certain date? Like cleaning out your room do we clean out our lives our friends our social network as we know it?

Is friendship becoming just another fad until we find the right one for use?

Like take a friend of mine she's a great friend and a wonderful person to be around, yet one of her best friends has a boyfriend now and has completely discarded her and will only talk to her when her boyfriend is not around, are friends just here to amuse us?

Occupy the time until the love of now comes back?

Now I put this to you how many friends have u let go?

lost contact with?

let drift into he abyss of no return? The person you pass on the street and notice your feet moving faster, your skin going numb, yet there is not one signal reason for this to happen, yous never finished on a bad note were always but then the “drift of life” just kicks in. Or if you do happen to stop and say hi to them or vise versa and say how are you doing with a few short words then the most common experience to happen the 5.5 seconds silence and the glad to see you awkward glance in the other direction fake smile and the bye bye hope not to see you again.

Now if you have ever had an experience like that you know what I am talking about the friend that got away no reason behind it if you have never had an experience like that you are a very lucky person

Over the years I have had countless friends fall into the abyss without a reason just stopped talking and it dose make me feel sad as I write knowing that some of them were some of my best friends.

I am hoping it dose not happen again to the friends I have now.

Which is why I ask you if you do have an expiration friend or a friend that is heading for the abyss, don’t let it happen it is a sad day when friend disappears
