I called her for hers...had to leave a message.
Probably she's trying to distance herself from her past and is making new friends without me as I notice from pics on facebook. I really felt like I needed her up through my early 20s, but now I'm getting used to the idea of making other friends and moving on. I thought it would kill me too to let her go. I don't even think she hates me or is purposely ignoring me. I just can't deal with the silence, so I'm trying to not have it hurt so much.
It still does hurt like it does for you with your friend. I used to be clingy and thought that was the problem, but I haven't been that way in 5 yrs and this is still the way she is. I guess I've lowered my expectations from her to survive emotionally. That's about the only advice I have besides telling her you miss her and would like to see her a little more often.  Sorry you're feeling lonely. At least we have PC peeps.
