In life we gain and lose friendships...some people drift away, other ties are violently severed.
In the past few months I have gained and lost several friendships. Sometimes it was an easy transition, as the friendship was dying anyway. Other times it struck deeply and really hurt.
I have been thinking about an old friend a lot since I returned to my hometown. Our friendship was a rocky one throughout its life, but our bond was deep and we shared a great love for each other. This is one friendship I mourn for. I hate the way things ended and I hate that I was just cut away. Often I have been tempted to try and reconnect with this person, but just as I am about to start typing a message something inside of me says "no", and I close the tab or put away my phone.
Throughout your life, is there a friendship that you truly mourn for? That you might not think of often, but when you do you really wish things could have been different? Or do you just regret the way it ended?
