Friends

It is said that friends are the most beautiful gifts that GOD ever give us..Friends are there in every step of our life..Search Google and it will give thousands of quotes on what friendship is.. Friends are of different types--some are close and some are just distant or as we can call them "acquaintance". But does time separates friends? No matter even how strong the friendship may be do they get separated as time passes by? The answer is probably NO. but in reality it can be a YES. And in this world where people have so many other engagements, they never stop before saying " Oh Sorry I was so busy at my work that I couldn't even spare 5 minutes to u." They may devote their time to other not so important matters but will never think that maybe someone will be happy to talk to u,to see u or rather too happy to get ur company.. Thats how life moves on and even the strong relationships like friendships come to an end slowly and steadily.. The thing that hurts the most is that since the friends are so close to us we cannot think of leaving them. But we are left with no options but to let them go. Or else the relation may turn bitter.Should we then stop making close friends? If this is the fate then is it necessary to make anymore friends? and even if made should we bring them closer and allow them to hurt us even more?
