Falling out of friendship

Darls confided to us Girls about another set of her friends. School friends, if I’m not mistaken. I’ve met them once, so I can’t say I know them well.

I know Darls used to go on vacations with these friends of hers. There was once when Darls commented that it’s hard to arrange a vacation with us Girls; no commitment from us, said Darls. Her words did hurt me a little, and I think I’m not the only one who felt that way. Anyway, that was the past. I love Darls, and probably she said that out of frustration with The Girls (it WAS difficult to arrange for a vacation with The Girls at one time not too long ago).

Darls had sort of a falling out with her girlfriends - she said those friends have been hanging out without her, not even telling her of their plans for their next vacation. Never a word to invite her for lepak-lepak, or for coffee.

It is sad really when a friendship begin to fall apart. Especially when the friendship has been around for ages.

I always remember this simple rhyme that someone wrote to me:
Make new friends
Keep the old
One is silver
The other is gold.
