Out of Sight....Not Out of Mind

I have been wondering about the concept of friendship. What is it and how do you know that you have it? I mean really and truly. We all think or know that we have friends but how many of those friends would be there if we lost it all? I used to think I knew the answer to that and now I am not so sure about all of it.

I'm really bothered by the fact that one of the people I consider very close to me hasn't talked to me face to face for a long time...I just must not matter that much to her. Sometimes it hurts that people only want you around when they need you to do things for them... Otherwise it's like see you later sucker.... I know that I am not alone... its not like she's my only friend and yet it still stings profusely at times.....
