"Parting is such sweet sorrow."
~Shakespeare
Alas, today marks the annual departure of
my high school friend. We were fortunate
enough to reconnect just a few years ago,
long after we had been scholastically
connected.
I have always loved, and even idolized,
the concept of friendship . . . truly a
gift of the gods and I cherish it. In fact,
I find the entire journey of friendship
absolutely fascinating.
Looking back, those tightly knit groups
in elementary, middle, high school and
college . . . each somewhat different
and yet, somewhat the same. It stands
to reason that as we grow and develop,
our tastes evolve as well.
Still, I can see a pattern 'mongst those
I am drawn to. Being somewhat an
eccentric myself, I enjoy those souls
who do not adhere to the cookie cutter
standard! Give me different, unusual,
gloriously strange! Pray, see that
hidden compliment herein!
So goodbye, dear friend. I'm already
looking forward to seeing you next
summer. I can hardly wait . . .
so love me my friends
finding myself missing you
we will meet again
