I hate goodbyes.
I don't hate the goodbyes I have to go through. But I hate those moments when others say goodbye to each other and tell each other all those touching feelings that just makes you cry because it is so emotional.. It touches you soo deep to see others cry so hard..
I never have a hard time saying goodbye to someone I love because if I really love this person, I know that I will stay in contact and that it is not the end. And there are just very few people that have their own little place in my heart.
What I find very sad is this moment when you go through your school where you've had good and not so good times, experiences, adventures and a lot of fun. And you realize that it will never be like this again, no matter if you visit this school in a year again. You expect that it is like it has always been, but all you find is a building without all the people that you used to have around you, and you feel like a stranger. You don't miss the friends, no.. you miss the time. your friends get older, like you. But as soon as you get out of school, the memory doesn't get old, it doesn't grow with you. It stays the same age in your head, while it is aging for others at the same time..
It's a strange feeling..

I know we will stay in contact miss Annie, but I can't help but cry at least a little bit. I will try not to too much though. Because we're still in school, it's a good feeling to know that the next school day, you will definitely be there, and if I want to talk to you, I can, if I want to hug you, I can. The difference of when we say goodbye and you are gone is that I don't get to get that hug anymore. But I definitely look forward to keeping in contact with you, we will talk online often and I think we can tell each other how things are going, yeah? And we shall stay longtime friends, and in 3 years when I start taking German, I can pretend to know what the heck I'm talking about or something >< lol.
This reminds me of a song called Photographs and Memories by Jim Croce. the song is actually more about a relationship, but the idea is the same. The pictures have you with those people but the actual place is empty, no longer with the same people in them. This is one of the harder things of growing up, but it's something everyone has to do.
There's something you wrote in my year book that I wish to write in yours, because I will never forget you either. Thank you for being such a special part of my junior year in high school.
