Separation

It's always the goodbyes that are hardest

especially when you've gotten so close

after years of distance

it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them

being dragged away by your little cousins to play "princess spies" or "animal hospital"

which I don't mind that much

I just wanted to spend more time with others before they had to leave

to return to California.

We actually had a whole plan

you could move here

hopefully over the summer

and we could go to school together

live near each other

but of course that would never happen,

could never happen

after all, the houses here are freakishly expensive

the food as well

and also taxes.

The distance between us won't be too bad

because I have your email

and you have mine

so that means we won't grow apart...
