Past Friends

It's intriguing to see how people, starting from common ground, can eventually drift apart. You meet someone and find out you are sharing several interests. You become friends and have wonderful conversations. You believe that your friendship will last forever because it has solid foundations. Then, as time goes by, you start losing contact with your friend. You may have moved to another city or simply decreased the frequency you used to get together. But you keep remembering him/her as one of your best friends. "We have so much in common", you still believe. Then, when you happen to get in contact again, you realize that NOW you have "no-thing" in common anymore. You see their page on Facebook and realize that you are not interested in their posts. You receive their visit or a telephone call and find out that what they talk about means nothing to you. Sad? Yes, to a certain extent. Yet, people move at a different pace, in different directions. It's the unpredictability of life!
