Fragility of bonds

I wish i could say that friends don’t drift apart no matter what. and that once a friendship bond is made, something special shared, it will always remain that way.

But somehow along the way when you don’t have anything in common anymore, don’t have much to say to each other anymore, a gap starts to appear. You don’t see it, but you feel it.

And then when you try to close the gap, it just seems forced, and so so unnatural. Old topics become stale. Find new topics ? Question is, do you even know what is happening in the person’s life now ?

You’ll then come to realise that sometimes things are not within your control, and will not, do not happen the way you want or expect them to.

They just don’t.

Kindda disheartening, really.
