I can't stand knowing we're gonna be strangers.
My heart physically hurts thinking how in 5 years we'll be asking about each others families when all we ever knew was making sure not to wake mom up when I got you home too late.
"What's new with your life? Seems like it's been forever huh"
For now, it's dealing with goodbyes. This is the first of a long list that seems like it will never end, constantly rolling past May 28th catching momentum spiraling me through the cracks in my heart that keep expanding.
For now it's "I'll miss you"'s and teary eyed hugs and forced bravery saying the final goodbye without breaking.
"If he ever hurts you, you know I'll be here in a heartbeat"
So let's catch up in 5 years, talk about your toddler and my bookshop in Washington. Let's talk about how life never worked out like we planned, but how we're so glad sometime rolled around.
Sometime, we'll be back together.
