People tend to forget someone whom they haven’t met for a long time or lost contact with, even their close friends or lovers. I feel that human beings are very fickle; when they see something new for them, the old one is usually left behind and finally forgotten.
Personally, I may not reject that I am not that kind of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ person. Classmates that I knew in Chinese school have been going away from my mind one after another. I can only remember those who are the closest to me. Thought I may remember them, I cannot recognize them if we met again and the feeling of as a close friend has long disappeared. What is left is the feeling of being an acquaintance. For several times, I forget the name of people who used to be with me. And it is really embarrassing or even hurtful to the person when I say that I’ve forgotten their name.
By the way, can love be ‘out of sight, and then out of mind’? It’s harder to forget someone we use to love and it’s the truth that is undeniable. However, I’m sure that time can falter everything, even love. When two lovers are separated for a period of time, the level of their love will go down rather than going up. A Khmer saying writes: When we are physically apart, our heart will be farther—it’s not a good translation, I think, but it means the same as ‘out of sight, out of mind’. What is more, as I said, humans are fickle. In the period that they stay away from their partner and meet a new one, the old one is thoroughly forgotten. I love watching movie and every lover acts in that particular way. There is hardly a couple who will love each other from the beginning scene to the last scene.
Relationship can be easily changed when less contact is made. I’ve lost several friends so far since we don’t keep in touch very often. However, I also believe that if we are very good friend or a destined match, no matter where we are, what we do, or even who we are with, ‘out of sight, out of mind’ will never be applied to us. The bottom line is that we should contact more; sometimes, even a missed call or a short sms can the relationship closer!

Out of sight, out of mind. Well, I really believe so. When they're separated, they'll be busy themselves and it's hard that they keep their old mind still. But some people have a high motivation and so their mind still remained the same tho.
Yeah, I also believe that there are some people who have strong emotion and can keep themselve sincere. But most often, people's mind are changing!
