Lost
Another friend lost
Empty space upon the shelf
Whispered remembrance
Alone
Walking in my sleep
Dreaming alone as always
Isolationist
Reflections
Friendship, charity?
Mature reflections adrift
Empty shelf beckons
Friendships can be hard to find and to keep, especially as one grows older. If you’re an introvert it can make it even harder. It’s not easy to find someone you connect with and let it grow to a point where you can say you are ‘real’ friends, rather than acquaintances.
I recently lost a good friend. Lots of reasons why: circumstances, distance, family commitments, time. I’m not really sure why people ‘disconnect’. In a world where communication over distance is so much easier than before, you wouldn’t think it would be an issue.
But that’s how the cookie crumbles. I have less friends in my life now than I ever had, but the ones I have left remain true. And sometimes that’s all you can hope for.

My husband is an introvert. He made a good friend, his only best for 12 years. My husband was so happy to have someone to go the gym with on a regular basis. Going out once a week including me. Well, he died in an accident 18 months ago. It was very very hard for him. It took him 18 months to feel a little bit at ease.

I feel for him. Losing your best friend is a tragedy. I’m an introvert as well, which is one of the reasons why it’s difficult for me to make new friends. 🙂

It’s hard for him to make new friends also. I just say he should have some friends so that I won’t worry about him if something happen to me. I would like him to have a support group.

I think he is mingling with more guys in the group we go.
