another goodbye

after a long while, i finally got to see a friend today. we chat once in a while via our office instant messenger but since he was far away on assignment (and so was i), we never got to spend any time together. unfortunately, when he came home, he already resigned from the company.

i was in shock.

actually, matagal na niyang sinabi sa akin na ayaw na niyang bumalik sa office sa pinas. i just didn't realize it would be this soon.

i gave him a hug when i finally saw him. he's probably one of the very few guy friends i could give a hug to. i also hugged his wife even though it was the first time we've actually met. with all his stories, i just felt like we were also friends. i was talking excitedly, telling him that i was happy for his good fortune. i knew he deserved it and i knew he would be happier there than he is here. i was happy and excited for him because i knew that his dreams can take place in that new company. but after we said goodbye and i returned to my seat, i felt lonely. i was saddened by the fact that we would not see each other at work, not as much as we used to. i was sad because he is my friend and he left. i wanted to cry but i didn't.

we did promise to keep in touch, promised not to forget each other and to remain friends. that's all i can ask for.
