text: how can i stop my best friend from drifting away from me? i have known her my whole life, and for the past few years, i only hear from her once every few months. (we live about an hour apart now) she's always busy with different people, never having time for me.  then she complains that i never confide in her, etc. well, if i call her, she's not there, her roommate is rude to me, and i don't hear back from her for months on end! i've tried talking to her, and she swears she'll try harder to keep in touch. about a month ago i talked to her, she said she'd call me before the weekend...i haven't heard from her since. what should i do? i don't want to lose her, as i dont' have a lot of girl friends, ,but i can't take this anymore! life is better with smile.
