where art thou my friends

The need to communicate is strong, to hear and to contribute to chatter and laughter. It's not always easy ..... with so much space and daily living separating my friends and I, it's almost a crying shame that we do not make the extra effort to communicate.

I have tried ..... oh how I have tried, sending emails to which I get no replies (oh they are too busy to log into their emails) sending cards on most occasions and not a word of acknowledgement. I am not expecting eternal gratefulness .... just a little, "hey how are you ......" a little small talk.

Where are all my friends ??? Too busy with life ......... every day is a new challenge ..... new adventures ..... busy with too much stuff.

How about a cup of tea ladies and we could small talk, and laugh and catch up ..... no takers! oh well life moves on ......... another day, another night and still I reach out to someone out there in the land of friends, trying to hold on to memories, trying to breach space and time, reaching out just so my friends and I will maintain a bond as old as time ...... a relationship that lives on despite the years of not communicating.
