answer:This happens when your young. I had a true, great friend while I was in high school. We were inseparable. We were constant in each other’s lives all the way through our early 20s; we even went to the same college for awhile. It seemed like we just drifted apart. Our lives went in different directions, and we lost touch. Aside from my wife, who is truly my best friend, I don’t think I’ll ever have another friendship like the one I had with her. We got in touch with each other about a year ago. I was so nervous, I thought it would be awkward; we had not seen or spoken to each other in 9 years. But you know what? It was like we we’re in high school again; we just clicked. We have spoken a few times since then, but we really don’t have a close, constant relationship. Seeing her after all that time made me realize that she is a person who, no matter what the circumstance, will always be my friend, and someone I can trust. It is sad to lose something so dear, but if you don’t hold on too tight, you might find that what remains can evolve into something even better.
