2001-07-15 - All Good Things Must Come To An End

No Regrets

"Don’t cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

Every once in a while, someone comes into your life who truly makes a difference. The things they do, and the words they say. The things they don’t do, and the things they don’t say. Help you overcome hurdles you never thought possible. They have such an impact on your life whether they know it or not, and for that you'll never be the same.

"Here for a good time, not a long time."

I knew right from the beginning that it would come to an end. I knew he was leaving the country. For good. In a month. Why do that to myself? I have no idea. My relationships always come to an end. Why get into another one, knowing that it would inevitably end? Well, this time it was different. It did not end for the usual reasons. It ended because he had to leave, not because I wanted it end. And that is promising. A feeling I’ve never experienced before.

"Never say goodbye. Say see you soon."

I’ll never forget you. And I’ll see you soon. Be it a month, or years from now. But it’s not goodbye.

No regrets.
