You Say Goodbye..

I've never had to say so many good-byes in one week. I suppose, in a way, it's a mark of good friends, that you have to say so long to so many people. This week.. I wish I had fewer friends, because I'm a mess, and in serious peril of running out of water proof mascara.

Camote took me out for dinner last night to our spot, Flavours. We had a wonderful dinner in our regualr seats, and as always had a good laugh. I'm pretty sure I ate more than him... but what else is new? Our waitress was really sweet, with the nicest Polish accent I've ever heard. Given, everyone there is Polish, and upon passing by the side kitchen door, I spotted a little Polish baba in house slippers peeling onions.

It was hard to say good-bye. Aquaintences I have many, close friends.. are few and far between. I can't believe I've known Camote for almost 2 years now.. Then again, I can't believe I'm 20 years old. It's getting harder and harder to leave people the older I get.. I'm so exhausted from saying good-bye.. and last night was the worst.

My dearest Camote- please know that you really have changed my life. You are my confidante, my sounding board, my teacher, my conscience... And my friend. Thank-you for everything, and here is to many more years of love and laughter. Please take care of yourself, and I'll see you in about a year.

Off to bed. I don't have any more sobs left. Take care everyone, talk soon.
