Ruskin BondHow evanescent those loves and friendships seem at this distance in timeโฆWe move on, make new attachments. We grow old. But sometimes, we hanker for old friendships, the old loves.

Absent so long, I may have stopped loving you, friends; but I will never stop loving the Day I loved you.
