keep in touch
Maintain regular contact
Keep in touch means to maintain contact with someone over time, especially after parting: Let's keep in touch after you move.
The phrase suggests occasional communication—calls, messages, visits—rather than constant contact.
It often appears as a parting sentiment, sometimes genuinely meant, sometimes merely polite.
We kept in touch for years after college.
