I'd Rather Have A Few Close Friends Than Many Acquaintances

Often I think about how our friends come into our lives. Was it random? by design? or maybe a little bit of both. Regardless of the reasons, some friends you just know will be by your side for a while. Others you’re not so sure. And then there is that one friend who… well… you hope someday becomes something more. But friend will have to do for now. And that’s ok, I guess.
For a guy who has had his fair share of experiences, this I still can’t figure out. Why some people come into our lives? Why some people go? and others become a part of us. Some friendships feel like they’ll last forever, and others end far too soon. I guess not every friendship is meant to last a lifetime. Though, what does last forever is the pain, when that person is gone.
