It is always nice to hear from old friends. You lose touch with some people, through the changes in your life or theirs. But when they contact you it is refreshing to hear from them.
Sometimes you take the back seat so as not to interfere with their life, especially when you think they have someone special in their life. A good friend understands that life can get a bit hectic with a new girlfriend or boyfriend. A friend understands you two are just getting to know each other and it take most of your focus.
You always wish the best for your friends. Hoping they found the one that they have been looking for. You feel sad for the sake of your friend when it doesn't work out. You stand by and let your friend know you care about them.
Life is not easy by no mean and why complicate them anymore then need be. Friendship is a wonderful thing to have.
