Losing friends to space and time really sucks. But sometimes life gets in the way.
One of my closest friends isn't really that far away, only about 2 hrs drive time, but she is busy with her new life, new friends, new job. And, I am busy here with mine.
I am married, she is still single. I have kids, she doesn't. I stay at home, she has a great career that keeps her busy and affords her trips, and financial freedom.
We still talk from time to time, but nowhere near as much as we used to. She was my go-to gal, whatever the need, she was there for me, and I for her. Then as time and distance took over (I had moved to OH for 8years) we drifted apart. I hold onto the hope that as her life calms down some, and mine finally allows for more freedom we can find a happy middle ground to reconnect on.
I miss her daily.
I speak to her rarely.
I see her next to never.
...but I still hold on

I had a really good guy friend in high school I'll call James. We were really close friends--we worked together at a local steak house, we were involved in choir together, and we attended a lot of the same church functions. We really "got" each other, and enjoyed each other's company immensely. A few years after we graduated, we reconnected, and ended up in a romantic relationship together. In a lot of ways, it was really great--he was so sweet and kind to me, and we had so much fun together. But in the end, I broke it off. I know I made the right decision--as much as the feelings were there, I knew we were all wrong for each other. We shared all the same weaknesses, and disagreed on some big things. But I hate that it ended the amazing friendship we had. I tried friending him on facebook a while back, but he denied me. And that's okay--I know I hurt him, and I don't blame him. But I really miss his friendship.
