Friends…

I should really take some time out to talk about friends. Everyone has friends. Some are good friends, some are bad. Some are trustworthy…and some you trust about as far as you can throw them.

In hindsight, I don’t have a massive number of friends. I have a few. Enough, really. I trust a few. And through experience, I know I can trust these few. I also, know through experience that a few, I can’t really trust.

Lately though, I think I’m growing apart from some friends. Ever since I started 6th form I have been really. It’s a real shame. If I lost these friends, then who will I have left? Who knows. What’s pained me most though, is losing some of my best friends, some of he ones that are closest to me. Well, I’ve not lost them yet. But I’m afraid that one day I might. I know, times change, things are different now. But I really want to stay close to these two friends in particular.

I remember ages ago, in year 6, my best friend was a lad named Greg. We were inseparable. Spent every day near each other. But, one day, 5 years later, it all changed. Greg got involved with a different crowd. As did I. He went with people who I didn’t fit in with. He went to the more out going clique. The ‘drama-geeks’. And that was it. 5 years of friendship, and now he barely ever speaks to me. Sure, I try. But one word answers? It’s not right. I’ve moved on, got better friends but I know the value of a good friend when I see it. I can’t lose any more. Even if it means giving important things up.

In the end we’ll just have to see what happens. Though I suspect things will be alright overall. At least I hope things will be alright over all…
