Friendships can be good. There is room for space to learn in grow with them. What happens when that flower has grown and is now barren. That is where I am at right now. A standstill. Seriously.
I have been friends with Kim and Tammy for years. Since high school actually. After high school we started to hang out more religiously. It started slowly then it kicked into high gear. In school I didn't even know they were sisters, and now when I goto their house I feel like family. I started to hang out for three days, then take a day break, then have another 3 days together = the three day rule.
Three Day Rule: When you can't hang out with someone for more than three days because you'll just get on each others nerves, so you take a day-a couple of days break from them.
For two years our relationships have been wonderful. We grew and learned from each other. Well now we have faded into a dark period of our friendship and I don't want to get burned anymore. I have given up much for us, and after seeing how that might not be the response by the other parties I am done. (Or I think I am now.) No friendship can live in a live or die position, especially if that is only the opinion from one party.
She says she misses me and then can't hang out on days we could (due to a friend she always sees having a ticket for her at great adventure...) So I am writing this as Babs sings "The Way We Were" because thats all I want. All I want to do is remember the way we were, because I don't think we'll ever be that way again.
