Life is about meeting and leaving

Life is colourful and beautiful. Maybe I 'm too sentimental sometimes and when I see the leaving secnes in films or in real life, my heart sink. During our whole life,some friends are destined to be passing travellers to you, while only few remain whole-life friends. I can still remember the day I bid farewell to my hometown and pursue my education in a totally different city. I know after my graduation, we have to go our own way. But that's what life is, full of meeting and leaving.

Meeting and leaving. That's an interesting way to put it. It reminds me of one of my favorite poems.
A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you
will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is
usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have
come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you
with guidance and support, to aid you physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a
godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason
you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realise is that our need has been met, our
desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you
sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .
Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount
of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things
you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the
person, and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said
that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

A friend of mine from far away was talking to me today about how difficult it is to love someone so far away from you. He doesn't want to say good bye but he doesn't want to pursue that relationship. I told him that people come and go and for sure there's one thing that is certain to happen. We cannot predict the future or what will happen next but certainly all things will come to an end.
But he adamantly insist that friendship would never end and i couldn't convince him more.

Although the old saying goes"absence makes the heart groe fonder", in today's society it is out of the question in most cases. I wonder it is because we are no long poetic and persistent in relationship or that is life. Yes, people come and go, what we can do is only enjoy the past and when departure befalls, we just accept it with a hearty smile. We could do nothing about it

It's scary knowing that after graduation you're going to be heading your separate ways but until then you might as well enjoy the time you have left. Friends stay where they are in your heart so even if they'll be gone and you'll never see them again, the memories will live inside you forever and forever.
I understand how much it hurts when you have to say goodbye, I hate goodbyes but that's what you have to be prepared to do sometimes.
