525 600 minutes.

Exactly how long it was since I officially left Canada. It was around this time, last year, that I came home for the summer and ended up staying for good (sort of).

Last year, I came home with traces of sadness, but knowing we would meet again made it better.

That knowledge was dissolved, burnt away, and hidden about two months later.

We said our goodbyes, and tried to make it last–

Nothing lasts forever; our forever was short but sweet.

It’s been awhile, but the feelings still linger.

Definitely difficult.

Summative is on Friday, and all I have running through my head is your voice, telling me about your day and how much you’ve missed me. And that if we were ever in the same country again, you’d probably want me back.

“Kiss me goodbye– love’s memory,
Follow your heart and find your destiny;
Don’t shed a tear for love’s mortality–
You put the dream in my reality.”
