Watching her from behind...

It's 9.45pm, Thursday, 27 Dec 2007, KLIA

As i watched... as she walked towards the departure hall...


further… further… and further away… my heart felt heavy... flashbacks of our time spent together filled my mind… it will be another 2-3 years before I get to see her again…

She’s my best friend from high school days…

And today.. she’s flying off to the US to further her studies… persuing PHD (I hope not Permanent Head Damage.. hehe…)

As I was driving home from KLIA after the send off at the airport… I suddenly felt lonely… We seldom hang out together nor chat very frequently online… but there’s juz that bond that held us together… she’s like a pillar which I can hold on to when I am about to fall…

She’s a quiet… indoor person… determined… discipline…a DSC kind of person… (if you know the DISC profile u wud understand this.. )

Me? I’m chatty… outgoing… can’t stay put at one place for a long time… rebellious… discipline? Try me! give up easily… basically a ISC kind of person…

When you get to know us… you’ll realize how different we are! We’ve had our difference in opinions and “quarrel” over things… Yet.. we still remain such good friends…

I bought a card for her, which goes like this… “Friends… enjoy the common things we have, and delight in our differences…” In the card, I wrote those things from the bottom of my heart. I gave it to her before she board the plane.. she wanted to open it.. but I told her.. “Open it only when you’re on the plane…”

A forwarded email I received quite a while ago.. which goes like this..
“We’ve known each other by CHANCE, became friends by CHOICE, still friends by DECISION”
Friendship…

2 weeks ago i told her.. "I'm gonna miss u..." and i felt it now oredi...

It's very well written :) A phase of yr life when you are separated from yr best friend. Can feel yr sadness and loneliness but very often it's during times like this that we grow and mature ... "there is a time for everything .. time to laugh, time to cry .." and in your case - time to separate ...
