As we go about this life we collect some marvellous people along the way, don't we? I know scores of people who I like so very, very much and yet... I can never seem to find the time to see them.
I want to see them.
I always love their company and they are friends that I can just relax around and be my silly self. Many are people that I have shared some important moments in my life with - school, university, first job. But it's gotten to the point where the only time I see some of these dear friends is when I invite them over to a mass party at my place and spend approximately 5 minutes talking to them. It breaks my heart. I bask in their light a little and wonder why I don't see them more regularly.
But I never do.
Instead we spend a goodly amount of time arranging catch-ups that never see the dark of night (or light of day, for that matter). Promises to catch up, broken arrangements to catch up, no actual catching up. It's been years for some people, decades for others... Dear god, is this how I'm going to spend the rest of my life?
What do you do with old friends that you still love dearly?
What on earth do you do?
