Friend Moving Away

[The37thElement]

First off, I really shouldn't have said "friend" in the title, this girl is way more than just a friend. We dated for about a month in December, and had a long period of time where we didn't talk for months (after the breakup). In March, she apologized to me for some things that she had said and asked if we could be friends again. She then confessed that she was still attracted to me, and I agreed that I was attracted to her too. She told me that she was thinking about going to a school several states away, and asked if I wanted to date again. We both decided that staying friends was best since I knew I probably wouldn't see her next school year.

We really do love each other. We tell each other about our problems and secrets, and we get along really nicely. Just today, she left for the country she was originally from, and told me that she wouldn't be coming back to my state, but instead going directly to school. I am devastated. I know I can still talk to her on Facebook and stuff, but it doesn't feel the same. I wanted to hug her for hours when she left, but now she's gone and I may never see her again. The pain I am feeling right now is unbelievably brutal as I have never had someone this close to me before. I am experiencing a mix of emotions that I can't seem to explain, and it's already beginning to influence the way I behave.

I am sorry man :( it is difficult to bear. as painful as it is, try to keep in contact in the ways you can and look at it this way; you can always get a passport and can always save up to travel to see her one day, even if it will not be for several years
