I've been in school for almost 11 years and they teach me about History, and Science, and Math, and they teach me how to perfect my grammar. Thats not all I learned. I also learned who my true friends are and I've learned to love and to live with them. But then suddenly, everything is taken away from you and you are left heart-broken. That's what I think school should teach you. They should teach you how to say goodbye and how to let go because in the end, this, will leave you hurt.
The phrase ''Goodbye'' brings tears to my eyes because it means losing, and letting go, and giving up. It's a phrase that many people find easier said than done. I don't find it easier said than done. I don't find it easy at all. I am afraid of saying goodbye and I am afraid of people saying goodbye to me.
When I say goodbye, I don't put my heart into it because my heart is with the person. I know that if I say goodbye and leave that we would eventually lose touch. You would say that we would keep in touch and that you would call everyday. I would have to brace myself because I know that one day your calls would stop. And the day your calls stop is the day that my heart stops. Our friendship meant the world to me and now you just sit there trying to tear my world apart. You told me you loved me, in that friendly sort of way. I guess your actions don't meet up with your words. You also told me that we would be friends forever. Well, I didn't expect forever to be this short.
I didn't want to say goodbye. I had to. I can't be friends with someone who just doesn't listen. A friendship cannot be held together by one person. There must be two people holding on and trying to keep things together. Well, in our case, I was holding on too tight and there was no one helping me. There comes a time in life when we must say goodbye. It might be graduation, or because you are moving away. It could also be because you are changing schools or maybe even a fight that ended a friendship. Eventually in life, you're going to have to say goodbye, and I think it's time.
