I have lost friends, some by death... others through sheer inability to cross the street." WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Question

HELP

ITS IMPORTANT!!

Answer 1

I agree with crusader.  This statement means that friendships have been lost through death and also, sadly, by the sheer indifference of people to take simple steps to maintain friendships.

Answer 2

I guess a couple answers up there hit it pretty well, for the literal meaning. I don't know where this is from, but I think the more important point to notice is the contrast being made--between the tragedy of death and the brutal indifference of someone who literally won't cross the street to visit a friend.

/Although the 'inability to cross the street' could very well imply a nasty death, as well....

PS: God's Child, my sympathies.  Hope my comment above doesn't offend....

Answer 3

Each person has their time they are called and they happened to be called earlier then you which we think by our standards is great and we are lucky its just been there times and you need to get a gripe and move on its sad but you can do it. I mean we have all been numbered and we're all should be ready to head to God and therefore someday it will be our turn and we need to go. take care.

Answer 4

some of em died, some of em didnt want to be their friend cuz they wouldnt cross the street to see them.

Answer 5

I knew a friend who was killed up on A1A.

He was on his way to see his pregnant girlfriend.

He got her pregnant, and was happy about it.  He did love her, but was killed crossing that intersection.

Always stubborn about cars.  Upsetting.  Broke his sister's heart to pieces.

I loved him to, I did not cry though.

He really was a good person, even though sometimes he flicked off cars.

Answer 6

I see it as death and murder(suicide)  

Or because you crossed the street and they didn't and you haven't seen them since...
