Footprints.

It's funny how people constantly come & go, in & out of my life.. They claim that they're "always there for me" one moment & then you stop hearing from them. I hate that. With guys its like, they say they're your friend or "friend" and then further along into the friendship they start building up feelings for you & then the second you tell them you're currently talking to someone, they get in their feelings & the whole friend thing blows up in smoke. Basically what I'm saying now is that I guess simple jealousy took over a friendship i just recently had. & now we no longer talk, for the time being. Another thing I can't stand is when I have to be the person always contacting another person, & if not, then we don't talk at all. That bugs me. "The phone goes both ways", quoted by another former friend of mine. A good friend told me today that friends leave to make room for others. Whenever someone walks out of your life, another person will enter it.
What's upsetting is that I told one person that I wanted them in my life because I always wanted them to be there for me in case I needed them. But they'd rather preach about how I'm better off with them & how my current relationship is so predictable. & then how they aren't just going to "stick around". Real friends wouldn't call it that. I don't even see it like that.
I can count on one hand the number of people that are always gonna be there for me.
I guess there aren't such things as "long term friends".
I have one, since third grade, really about eighth is when we started getting closer.
As long as I have a few, I'm good.
it just hurts to see people leave, ya know?
