Yesterday I phoned a friend who studied with me at the university and, despite we hadn't been in touch for several months, we didn't have too much to tell each other... While both of us were studying, we weren't like a house on fire, but were certainly quite close friends and could spend hours talking about anything. Then we used to meet every day and we would always have something to tell, even all sorts of nonsenses. Now we scarcely get in touch, and however we quickly catch up! Once we've told each other the major news, it seems like if there wasn't anything else to be said. We both remain silent... and somehow feel uncomfortable. Admittedly, the less you see a person, the less you have to say!
I think this happens because we and our circumstances change with time, therefore our relationships change too. As long as we adapt to new situations we're no longer exactly the same we used to be, so our ways of thinking and seeing life also change. That's why when we meet up someone we haven't been in contact for quite some time, we usually get bored... Mind you, you're happy to see that friend again, but you feel you're poles apart now, since you don't understand each other's problems as you used to do... There's no doubt that if you're single, with no kids and living abroad for example, you won't identify with someone married, with several kids and living in the same city as ever, will you?
In short, to our great sorrow nothing lasts forever! :(
