Once a friend. Always a friend.

I allow some friends to drift away. Because that’s the nature of friendship. To grant freedom. To friends.  To allow friends to be independent. To follow their inclinations. One doesn’t manipulate a true friend. Because that would be disrespectful. Thing is. A friend that has drifted. Is still a friend.  Drifting. Drifting. Drifting. Once a friend. Always a friend. –Jim Broede
