The memories I have with that girl are way too many to count: eating our body weight in ice cream, midnight grilled cheese, four hour caf trips, campouts, biking to Walmart, making ultimate frisbee shirts, just living together, filming out own music videos, taking hundreds of pictures together with a webcam, dancing, screaming, laughing, ten second hugs (our specialty), baking, snuggling while watching a movie. Like I said, one of my closest friends.
Today was the best surprise. See, she isn't good at goodbyes. The semester ended and she was gone. I didn't understand why she didn't make an effort to say bye. I thought maybe all those years were as important to her as they were me. I'm not trying to sound dramatic, but I felt like a big piece of me was gone when she left. I know I don't have her for very long, but this time I'm prepared for when she leaves. And this time she's leaving on a good note in my mind. I won't think she doesn't say goodbye because she doesn't care. It's just because she is afraid of them and I can handle that.
Thank you God, for letting me see someone who has morphed my life so much and who is one of the strongest women I've ever known.
