Lover, friends, acquaintances, all people interacted with on a daily basis, but on different levels. Lover, the person you share the good and bad with, friends the people you may lament to about your lover, and acquaintances those you discuss the miserable winter with. Conversations with acquaintances should be easier, but that is not always the case. There is not the easiness that exists with a lover or a friend. Conversations with acquaintances sometimes are nothing more than filling dead space, wheras with a friend or a lover silence can say all that needs to be said. It would seem that maintaining a relationship with an acuaintance would be easier, but that is not always the case.
