A Strange Farewell

So how do you say "goodbye" to a dear friend?


Goodbyes are never easy. Whether to a dying loved one or a friend who's going away, it is indeed difficult to say what we call, "parting words." But my question really is, what should I do after saying goodbye?

I tend to trust people easily. I really put myself out there. Most of the time, it's easy for me to be friends with people but it doesn't make the value of friendship any less. I just love meeting different kinds of people, getting in their heads and somehow create a world we can share with his/her interests, character and personality. I cherish all of them dearly.

Which is why I got my heart broken earlier this evening.

A good friend told me it's best not be friends with him and that I should stay away from him. I won't drop details, but he gave me a vague reason why he's asking me such. In this generation's words, "friendship over."

It's actually taking me a while to process it. At first, it was more... "Yeah, okay. I respect you." But now, it's more... "Why?"

We've been friends for only a short while, but for me, it was something deep and real. You can't just drop a bomb on me saying that we can't be friends anymore. Sigh.

Simply put, it's now hurting at the same time confusing. Sometimes, it's hard to verbalize things that are truly painful.

*tears*
