Take Care

You never really thought of what it would be like without the person. Mostly because you didn't feel the need to think about them ever leaving, it was assumed they'd pretty much always be there.

But then you did have to think about it.

Sure, you were given notice a few months before. That would obviously be enough to mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for it.

You were wrong. 

There's no amount of time that could've prepared you. There are no words that could have been said to make it all better. There is no limit to the amount of hours you talk to the person that will make it any easier.

It's kind of like losing a piece of your life. A part that was pretty darn awesome.

And without that part of your life, you feel incredibly alone.

You wish them the best in everything they do, everything they will encounter in the future, a future without you.

Maybe it's a good thing, it's a test of your friendship. It'll just become stronger.

Having no idea how to say those last good-byes, good nights or see you soon's you just cry. That pretty much sums up everything you're feeling.

And then the very last thing that's said, 'take care!' . And you break down again.

You'll make it through it, don't worry.
It's just another adventure in the story. And the characters in this story will inevitably have to meet again.
