英文小作文：

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

When we are together, we can easily get used to each other and take each other for granted. However, sometimes, spending time apart can help us realize how much we value our relationships and appreciate the people we love.

Last week, I had to stay at school late for a meeting. My girlfriend came over to my apartment to pick me up and keep me company while I was away. Although we didn"t have much time together, it made me realize how much I missed her when she wasn"t around.

On the other hand, going away for a short period of time can also bring us closer together. When we were in high school, my best friend and I would take a break from each other every few months just to recharge our batteries and make sure we were still connected. It helped us to appreciate each other even more when we were together again.

The key is to make sure that we take the time to appreciate the people in our lives who mean the most to us. When we are present in each other"s company, it helps us to develop deeper relationships and stronger bonds that last a lifetime. Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but it"s also important to make sure that we take the time to make our relationships even stronger when we are together.
