The Low Maintenance Friendship

friends who truly love you will do so even from afar the last text date may be a few weeks ago but there is no venom lurking in the chasm between messages old information becomes fresh once again on catch up calls "you didn't tell me!" is an expression of excited delight, not entitled offence. months may pass without a word but the silence is sweet and mild, we transcend "awkwardness" life clouds us all, the days blur together and before anyone realises perhaps a year has passed since we laughed side by side But while I may be here, they elsewhere our paths different and leading us away from each other we walk them knowing firmly that at times I will look back in their direction and they mine.
