Best friends, Friends Forever, Best Buddies... do all these things mean anything when you know that you are together only for a short while? What happens when you go back to where you've come from. For instance you are in a new town for work, you stay there for sometime and then after a while you know you are going to back. You meet a lot of new people, you get close to a few. But then what? One day you go back and then thats all there is.
You keep in touch regularly for a while and then it becomes once a week from everyday and then once a month and then slowly it just fades off. Not that you do it on purpose or anything. You just get so busy with your own life that a day comes when you run into each other and are like 'Oh my god! its you! its been so long..." or something like that. Why do we have such a hard time keeping in touch with people we once called our friends... ?
I was once told by someone that when you are away from home and make friends there, you are just friends due to need.. and it is just for that much time that you are great buddies and then when one of them goes back, its all over. All that remains is just memories of all the fun times that you had.
Why is it that you cannot keep in touch with people you claimed to be your great friends once you go back to where you came from? Is it so difficult?
Its happened to me as well... but i fail to understand it. I have accepted this fact that when the people I spend so much time with here go back to India, I cannot expect them to be the same. They are going back to their lives... something they have kept on hold. You don't matter to them then. As they are back with the people who have always been most important to them. You were just someone they ran into when they were out of town...someone for them to spend the time with while they made plans of going back.
You are only just a memory of someone who they met when they visited a new town...
Here's to all my good Friends and to all those people who said they were Friends Forever... Cheers!
