I feel incredibly sad. The Classmate is currently in his plane, flying over the sea, back to his home. We didn’t even get to say goodbye properly because of everyone that was around. All we managed to do was glance at each other and go, “Well, bye..” and “Yeah, see you..” and he was off through those automatic glass doors after another friend that he would be flying with.
What… no hug? My heart broke a little.
He only glanced back once and I left before I really wanted to when a friend asked, “Are we really going to wait till they’re done with immigration..?” I really wanted him to glance back one more time but instead I answered, “Heh. Right. Let’s go.” and walked away on reluctant legs. I kept glancing back to see where he was but he was swept up in the crowd and I barely saw him again. He didn’t catch my gaze. I wanted so much to run through those doors and hug him and not let go.
As we were walking towards the parking lots, tears stung my eyes and my heart ached.
