"Well I'd wade ten thousand klicks for just one more chance.So much has happened in the past 6 month, so many memories I won't ever forget. The dream is over but it lives on in my mind, forever immortalised in those countless glorious frozen moments. Every time I listen to this song it makes me unbearably sad. I remember it was playing our last night together. I remember it in a series of snapshots: the frosted glass doors half open, a ray splayed over the wooden floor. You were sitting on the windowsill using your computer. The electric, almost-too saturated blue of the neon sign of the bar below on the house opposite.
Just one more chance, to see your face again."
It was morning. The sun was shining through the windows. I came down to find you were almost ready.
"I'm not good at goodbyes,"
A hug; and you were gone from my life. I was left with the key to your apartment. And that was it. The past 6 months and all my experiences are now past tense. I miss those days. I can never sleep as well I did in Europe, I don't know why. Back home I am back to tossing around an hour or more, waiting for sleep to claim me. I never had such problems there. Thesis in my final year is such stress, it weighs down almost physically; a constant humming in the background. Life will never be the same.
In some way this is a sorrowful farewell to my time there. A very painful one.
