Just because you have been friends for years doesn’t mean you were there with them through their thick and thin. Your formal “how do you do” was satisfied with their “i am great” so don’t dare say how strong your friendship is because you have no idea what they have been through and what they are going through. You might be their friend but you are not the friend whose has been with them through high and low tides. Your support in their life was as real as a unicorn. So why are you so proud to say that your friendship with them has excelled the test of time.
The mask had a big sparkling smile and so you never cared or even bothered to look under it. How can you say you miss them when you think about them only if you are bored or got nothing to do.
Busy spells, late working hours, family responsibility are understandable but one should not forget that busy or not busy, you are bound to miss them.
Stop showing off how strong your friendship is because it isn’t and will never be because where there should be concern their is curiosity.
