Are you afraid of losing someone you hold onto dearly?

We lose people not to others but to time. In fact, it is time that should be sentenced to the deadliest punishment ever. It's a natural instinct to look for someone/something to push the blame to when something goes wrong. When we lose touch of someone, we find ourselves blaming the lack of time, the lack of sincerity, the lack of commitment and the lack of concern for the friendship to do so because we have become so caught up with our own lives and are too busy.

Is it true? That it is because of all the above that causes friends to transform into people they did not once know? Is it true? That is it because of the entrance of new friends, we should lose the old ones, even if they once meant more than life?

We have all grown, left a chapter and entered a new one. Made new friends and slowly along the way, realised that we have neglected the ones we used to call upon daily, the ones who used to finish up our sentences, the ones who used to say the same words as us at the same time.

Who wants to watch a person they love drift away from them? But I have come to realised that one day we will have to say goodbye. Regardless of how much I do not want that to happen, it will. I haven't went through more than 2 decades but have already lost quite a good many of people that I used to love dearly and still do. Even though we may not be part of each others' lives anymore, they are still part of my memory, a part of my heart and nothing will change that. People can step in for only a moment but that can last a lifetime. I know that with the entrance of them since the first day I knew them, I was richer than I was before. And even though time has been picking and taking one by one away, I know that I have not completely lost them.

Maybe you were right. That life being unpredictable makes it what it is.
