These aren't people who have drifted. They are people from 3 different parts of my life...
Of course people have drifted out of my life but I always felt like at the same pace, more wonderful people have entered my life. I think I'm actually the drifter in many situations. Since 2003, I've lived (and paid rent) in Philadelphia, Delaware, Alexandria (VA), J-Ville (NC) and in Maryland. In each place, I made a great set of friends. But due to my circumstances, I don't always see these people all the time. However, if people who have drifted out of my life have taught me anything, it's that it takes two people to maintain a relationship. We BOTH have to care about what we have. So, I make a serious concerted effort to make sure that I keep in touch some way with those that are important to me. So, obviously, if you're important to me, you'll know it!
It does take two. Sadly, some people don't get that.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry we don't engage each other more.. but I'm happy knowing that when we do, it really counts! <3 It makes it easy knowing that we both recognize we live busy lives and we still love each other :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs. S. Some people don't understand that it takes two to tango.
