Fading friendships

Some friendships can last a lifetime, whereas others are just there for a time and a season. It can be hard to accept sometimes that a friendship has moved on, that people change in different ways and can be close to you one moment and almost a stranger the next. Sometimes the change is so gradual that one day you suddenly wake up and realise that what you thought was friendship is really nothing more than the ghost of the relationship that once was and all that is left are the beautiful memories of the times and fun once shared.
