because we've met

Partings are one of the things that I hate when I was growing up. But they are really part of our lives. While I was in grade school, I was not living with my parents and siblings as I was moved to the city with my aunt. Every time they visit me for the summer or i visit them on holidays, the partings are always the hardest. Then my friends one by one left for good, it's crushing. But growing with it became easier when I changed my mindset to anticipation rather than the hate of leaving. Anticipation of meeting again and the anticipation of mails - both electronic and snail mail. Things change but the bond is at times very strong still.

Having friends to share all the good times and bad times together is a blessing. When time give us no choice but have to separate from our true friend it will be a sad day for a friendship. But true friendship will live forever.

It is always wonderful to say hello to someone, and have time to be together and have fun. But when it is time to part ways, it is like tearing your heart apart. Even if we know that it would only be temporary, still the fact of being away from each other is such a pain.

Such a sad thing to imagine, but it's the truth. Sometimes we need to part ways with the hope of meeting again. And soon we'll realize that it strengthens the bond together. The absence makes the wait worth while.
