Friends / Nostalgia

Isn't it weird how things change with friends? A long lost friend of mine got in touch with me today, and boy, was I happy to hear from her or what! But it's weird how these equations change. Like say, we used to be best of friends at one time, and now all I can tell about her is how we used to be friends. Note the used to be. Although I was so happy she got in touch with me after so many years, there is only so much we could talk about. Only so much we could really open up and share. And of course, only so much we had in common today to chat away to glory like the old times. Add to that the fact that online communication isn't exactly the warmest means of communication. Left me with this bittersweet reality. Brought back lovely memories of good times we spent together. Warm thoughts of so many friends I am no longer in touch with. Bitter reality of how today we're not that close anymore, and perhaps never will be.
