time's are a-changin'

I've told people before that you can never go back to how it was before. I still believe that but it recently just slapped me in the face.
Relationships with people are funny things. Their live changes or your life changes and the whole relationship is affected and altered. Sometimes, I'm just not ready for those changes. It's hard to be so important to someone for a while and then become an afterthought. It's tough to realize that while their lives are moving on, you feel completely and utterly stagnant. It's not easy to think about being replaced. Not easy to think that since you aren't that important person to someone anymore, they'll surely replace you. Or to know that they are in the process of replacing you. Just when you hoped that'd never be the case or at least that you'd never know about it. It's sad to lose a close friend and have to take the trade for a friend who calls "when they're not busy." You miss that friend who would drop everything for you to be by your side. To hold you and just listen to you. To laugh with and talk to. But I guess that time's are always a-changin'. People come and people go. Sometimes you just long for what used to be knowing that it's not likely to happen again.

Sometimes, I just feel so alone. No friends. No confidantes. No loves. I miss the companionship. I miss the moments of feeling valued and needed.

I need to find a way out of this rut but I have no idea how.
