It seems to me that there are two types of goodbyes in this world: the "temporary" goodbye and the "permanent" goodbye.
The thing is, you never know if a temporary goodbye is, in fact, a permanent goodbye and if a permanent goodbye may, inevitably, turn out to be temporary.
I've said it before, but I'm not very good with goodbyes. I'm even worse when it comes to the notion of permanence.
In three weeks time I get to go home. I can't wait. I need some lovin' of the best friends' persuasion, and lord knows I certainly don't have many of those here.
