Loneliness

I am frustrated with loneliness today.  Where do all those friendships go that we develop over time.  Why did I let life get in the way of keeping in contact with people that I was closest to.  Reaching out to them after such along time is very difficult.  It hurts to think that a relationship you held so dear could be destroyed.  I understand that communication goes both ways - but why do I feel so responsible for the way things happened.  Oh well, all I can do is try and reach out.  I can't make someone call me back or reach out when they don't want to.  I just have to pray that there is some glimmer of friendship left that both of us can grasp onto.
