Goodbye my dear friend

Seeing him standing alone with his hand luggage when he sent us off, my tears nearly dropped. Oh god, it will be a very long time until I see him next, and I know, I will miss him.

He is one of my high school mates who I had not got in touch for at least 5 years. Last September he came to study in the UK and that’s when we started to get back in contact. We’re always on the phone chatting about the good old time back in our hometown and new livings in the UK; we talked about his loved ones and my dear ones. He gave me the feeling of TI friends. It was just brilliant to have him here. Although we are at different cities, a simple phone call or text from each other add a little extra company in our lives.

We finally managed to meet up a few months later when I bought my train ticket to meet him up at his place. We went travelling together (It was my first trip to visit European countries with friends); we took many photos; we cooked, we watched movie and we chatted till late. The whole experience was memorable and has certainly added more colours to my life. I never thought I would be so reluctant to leave three weeks later. The thing that consoled me was our promise to meet up again after my exam and to go home together. However at the end I failed to keep my promise to fly back home with him. Nonetheless I went up to see him and stayed there for another 2 weeks. Although we ended up staying at home most of the time rather than travelling, I was happy that I managed to do what I planned to do.

Flashing through my memory, I never really expect we could be so close. A few close friends of us have asked about our relationship but I didn't really think about it. But now at this moment, two days after he left, I am surprised by how much I miss him. Okay, perhaps we were a little too close; perhaps we treated each other with a little too much care. Still after all, we have never really treated our relationship as a couple, and I know we will never be. Our friendship is simply unique and I believe we both enjoy it. I am just like his 匿名的好友. So I am glad that we preserve it as it is- and knowing that we can take it easy on each other and always ready to share our problems.

Things move on. Hopefully he will find the answer he desires.

Goodbye my dear friend...

A quote to share:

Like it or not, we won't progress from where we stopped if we don't take another step forward. Adoring the past while neglecting the future, doesn't change the fact that we're being stagnant
