Monday05.03.07Friends?if you don't talk regularly, are you still friends?
if you haven't seen them in years, are you still friends?
if you haven't seen OR talked to them OR had any contact with them in weeks/months/years, are you still friends?
the worst part about having people you care about but aren't technically "close" to is that when they're hurting, you can't reach over to hug and comfort them
(literally, in some cases) because it would be presumptious to do so. or so you think, or so you
fear, anyway.
you want to ask if they're alright, to say take care, to somehow, someway, convey that you care. but you don't, because you
know they're
not alright, because you're way too late to say take care, and anyway even if you do what does it matter to them, what can you
do, really? you wish you had some way of telling them you still think of them, still care, still hope one day your paths with cross again, and that maybe what once was is not completely lost.
sometimes, it's not yet too late, you can still try to hang on, say hi, and slow the inevitable drifting apart. you can still stay in touch, stay friends - not as close as before, perhaps, but good still.
other times, you can no longer contact them (without being totally random or outoftheblue, anyway. sometimes it's even worse, you don't even have the option of being totally random or outoftheblue), no way of doing
anything - except pray, and hope, and wish.
well, for what it's worth. i still care. i hope
(pray, wish) it means something to you.
and to those new friends that inevitably take the places of the old
(or maybe, not quite), i care. just so you know. hope you're doing alright.
and while i can -
*hug*
