Today, one of my best friends left my country to live in France in a boarding school.
She was not one of the smartest persons, she was not the nicest, she was not the prettiest and the skinniest, but she was one of the people I could trust the most.
In lunchtime she visited the school to say goodbye to all her friends and schoolmates. Sitting in a circle were 6 friends, her, and me. One of my friends was already crying, I was already feeling depressed, and I could see that they weren't super duper happy neither. We all talked about our memories with her, the times when we laughed, cried, and fought.
She told every one of us that she loved us, that she was going to miss us like hell, and that we were great friends, or in my case, that I saw her when she was invisible (and no, not in a lesbo-kind of way. It was in a you were my friend when no one cared to be one) but one of the friends who were there, was her friends too in that part of her life.
When the bell rang to announce that the recess was over.. there all my tears came rushing down and I couldn't stop them. When I turned to see my friends, the one who cried when we were in a circle was drowning in tears. We hugged and took pictures for her to keep.
We all had bracelets in our hands and the ones who didn't had hairbands. We all gave her one of those so she could remember us when she went to France. Then, it was time to leave.
That was the moment that all of us cried. If there was among us any girl who didn't cry, I could assure that she felt sad, hollow even. Because we all felt like a part of us was being ripped of our chests. Or at least I did.
I know that it will take months for me to see her again.
But I know one thing for sure: Hell can freezes over. Pigs can learn to fly. But I will not forget her.
I will miss her like hell.
I love you Twixy.
