Some relationships, platonic or romantic, are ended simply because of distance. That's only happened twice.

I sit back and think, and I realize I've got two types of friends. There are those who are like family to me, or more. The people who I could call my best friends, or (again) more than that.

I have a steady relationship with people in the other group. We're not as close, but talk when we see each other, whether at school or online.

No matter how much I've tried, I lose whomever's in the former. I hold these people so close to me, and yet they seem to slip through my fingers. As hard as I try to hang on, it never works. In some cases, it harms whatever of a relationship we still have.

I realize I'm more likely to keep in touch with people in the latter group.
