There is nothing worse than losing touch with someone you once held very close to your heart. I have lost touch with many people throughout the years; be it because of distance, moving away for school, traveling the world, or quite simply because we have drifted apart - it is never easy to accept. People have walked away from me, left me holding on to nothing but a memory and a sad hope of homecoming. Being walked away from, without a sideway glance and such willingness, is a sadness that cannot be described.
I have learned that people will come and go, you just have to take it as a learning experience and grow from the hurt you feel. Being hurt is a way to appreciate what you have; it allows you to truly know what it means to care for someone. You never know how much someone means to you until they are no longer in your life. You learn to never want to walk away from people. You learn to never treat people poorly. You learn to love the people in your life whole-heartedly and unconditionally.
But there is nothing more heart warming than when a friend you have lost touch with comes back to you. They found something in your relationship worth preserving. That is beauty. That is love. That is happiness. Feeling a weight lift from you as a part of your heart is sewn back in place.
