Image result for friends having coffee"

I was told that a friend cherished, talked about me, said- I was not hearing her when she spoke; I was so angry, for I am a listener ! A true friend to those who I let enter my world, for this journey has made me very careful; I did not say anything to her but distanced myself, then, weeks, weeks later I realize I was hurt, not angry. (and I missed her and our conversations on every subject) Does this mistake have to end friends ? Perhaps, I can ask why over coffee? "To err is human; to forgive divine . . . .

Connie, thanks for the congratulations and the comment, sadly I did have to part with this friend as I found out she was still talking behind my back, I will say nothing but just distance myself _Constance
