Until our paths cross again... soon!

It's amazing how... actually, that's how a song that I keep close to me starts... another story altogether but I won't get into that now, there's just how much a guy can take for one weekend. When I was driving to work this morning (yes, I'm one of the poor souls who works saturday mornings) I realized just how big my city is and how small I felt in it. I just felt... alone.
Yesterday two of the most important persons in my life left, literally, to the other side of the world. They are starting their own new adventure, a big and brave step and I couldn't be happier for them. One of them has been like a brother for me since grade school, and the other one, well, words can hardly describe what she is to me, and I'm not talking romance here. My soulmate, my teammate, my sister; the one person who, once all others had left, I knew would never turn her back on me, no matter who hard it was for either of us. My companion on so many adventures. My friend. God, I'll miss her. These feelings are hard ! I'm both genuinely happy for her and truly sad to see her go.
But that's just me being selfish. See, once she left, the last of my friends, my real family, are gone. Yeah, I know a lot of people in town, a few very good friends as well. But they in turn have their own groups of friends, their own families and priorities, and it's just not the same. One of the other persons I grew very close to while everyone else was away is sort of unreachable for me at the moment (another story I might consider telling someday). I will be leaving town myself in around 8 months but that is a very long time. Things are gonna be rough for me for a while.
But it's not the end, not by a log shot. I made a promise to a couple of people to be strong ("rob es fuedte") and I will be. Our adventures together haven't ended, I know that. I will just have to smile when I remember those that have passed, and start planning the new ones. We have a motto, my friends and I: "They might slow us but they will never stop us." Our bond is strong, and mere miles, even thousands of them, won't weaken that. And until we see each other again, I will make you proud, I will be strong and I will grow. Take care of yourselves guys, we still have a lot to do together... soon !
