Drifting

Have you ever looked at an old photograph of yourself and wondered where that person who was beside you is now? Or have you ever just thought about the past and remembered those memories were shared with people that are no longer present in your life to create new memories with?
When was it did we drift away from these people? I’m not talking about those people who were acquaintances, but rather those that you use to talk to everyday, share unforgettable moments that were filled with smiles and laughter, and was once one of the biggest part of your life.
Why or what cause us to drift so far away from these people that we just stopped talking or seeing them that they just become another stranger when reality states you once knew everything about them? Did we walk away from someone because of a fight, or was it more natural in parting ways because you took different paths in your guys lives leading to distance?
Isn’t it odd that when we look back at our lives, we will remember thousands of faces that were once such a big part and has changed our lives only to not know where they have ended up. To know that at one point of our lives, we saw, talked, or said goodbye to someone without knowing that it would be for the last time. Can you even understand why we drift from people we were so close too? Or maybe it’s a reminder to hold on even tighter to those people you care about in your life right now so they don’t just become another stranger from the past.
