it never hurts to have an extra friend around, even if it's just temporary

Most if not all relationships are based on a support system. As we go through life, our needs change. Some friends tag along longer than others, depending on the roads they take themselves. Relationships also take time and effort, so friendships are selfish in a sense as we are expecting a "payout". If that person makes us happy, adds to our life and is a positive influence, the longer we want them to stay around. If effort is spent maintaining a friendship with a person who doesnt give us as much gratification, it will eventually disappear no matter how great of a person we think they are. We typically dont even notice these things as we go through life- only those friends who really wronged us and destroyed our trust will we notice actually left our lives at a given point.

At 56 years of age I have decided that friends are a lot like ships that pass in the night. At the time and location it was right but the two of you may grow apart or complete the growing process we learn from relationships with other people.
Don't be alarmed, there's another ship on the horizon.

True Friendship never passes. Even when you haven't spoken with someone in years the memories and love they shared stay with you. Your life's may drift apart, but the bound you create lasts longer then either of you will.

Every moment every friendship, and every thought that ever touched your heart lives on for ever
Even when the moment has passed in the absence of friends, and alone
Those memories are our strength when feel weak, and gives us hope when got none
Love an' Peace

I have made friends with a LOT of people in my life, but have not maintained a close relationship with any of them for long periods of time. I have grown and developed and changed in so many ways throughout my journey, and I have outgrown friends. I think we have relationships with many people in our lives and when we are in experiencing a common passion, we grow closer. As we grow or our passion wanes, we become more distant with some people and closer with others.
If I met my childhood best friend (Debbie Burke--wherever you are), I'd be happy to see her, but I don't think we'd have much in common.
I also think I have problems with intimacy, so I don't know that my experience will line up with the majority.

All friendships eventually pass. It's a condition of mortality.

You have to accept that you'll never see many friends again. The army taught me that. Just enjoy people while they're around.

Life is constantly opening doors and closing doors. You just have to used to the noise.

you can count your friends on your fingers; but, you can't count on your friends!
