No one ever prepares you for the heartache you feel when you have to say goodbye to the life you were accustomed to, and embrace an existence filled with uncertainty and doubt. But worst of all, no one ever talks about the gaze in the eyes of the people you love, when you say your farewells. I bid adieu to everyone who means something to me, except for one. I'll probably never see you again, so I guess this is all we get. When I talked to you for the first time, I fell in love, and you just smiled, because you knew. And while we were never truly together, you awakened feelings in me that were deep in slumber. The memory of what almost was shall forever remain a part of my deluded soul. I'll listen to it, and try to find a fragment of your voice. Without realising, you impacted my life in ways even I can't fully grasp. You set in motion events, that will alter the very fabric of my existence. And so now here I am, letting go, as countless time before, and as always, with that stupid grin on my face.
