This Isn't Goodbye

As i'm typing this, you're probably already on the plane, leaving for Minnesota. Leaving for a place with greener pastures, to further your studies in engineering.

I just came back from the airport.

When i came home, everything felt the same somehow. Nothing has changed, not really. But yet something is different. It's the thought that i won't see you in person again, not for a year at least. It's the thought that we won't be able to hang out and eat together. It's the thought that things just won't be the same anymore, not without you.

All these memories flashing through our heads, reminiscing about the past. These nostalgic moments were the ones that drew all of us together; maintaining our bonds of friendship. We grew up together, had our experiences in school, made fun of ourselves, became friends.

I'm not gonna pretend that i was your closest friend, and that i was always there for you, but you were a really good friend of mine, one of the best i ever had. And i would like it to stay that way, even if you're all the way on the other side of the planet. After all, i don't want to waste the 7 years of friendship that we have. Lets make it a decade before we stop talking to each other, eh? Heh, i'm joking.

Leon Lim, have fun in the states. We all miss you, and we all love you. And you'd better come back again to see us all someday, or I'll go over there just to drag your sorry bum back here.

But i bet you already knew all that =)


This isn't goodbye,
