Goodbye {a personal oneshot for HalleStarStories' contest: All For One: Round One: Never Forget}

You love. You are loved. You hurt. You heal. You smile. You cry. People make promises. People break those promises. People walk in. And then they walk out. It's all one big cycle, and it happens naturally. No matter how much we want to stop it, no matter how hard we try to run from it. We're humans, and that's what we do. We feel. And feel, and feel. And feel. And then..we forget.

Sometimes, there are exceptions. Sometimes, the hurt is so strong, the memories and broken promises are so special. . you can't forget. No matter how hard you try. You carry your sorrow on your back, and it weighs you down. You face depression in the eye, and it makes you a coward. You're afraid to let anyone in. . . all because you can't let go. All because you never forget.

". . . . . But I'm serious. . I'm moving at the end of the year."
Those words were the ones that hit me like a hurricane, and devistated the only world I had known for 2 and a half years, but it was only the beginning.
- * -
"Hey..I can't make it to the phone right now, so leave me a message and I'll call you back," your voice rang through the phone - it's the same simple message you'd had since we met. Usually the joy in your voice would've cheered me up, but this time was different. This time it only broke me a little more. "Hey," I sighed, leaving you yet another voice mail..,dying a little inside.
- * -
"What does this mean? What are you saying?"..."I'm saying.. I'm saying.. I'm saying," you fumbled for the right words to use - the ones that would break my heart, "We're not best friends anymore, and we both know it..." The line went dead, and my heart seemed to stop, my body was frozen.
- * -
Everything to ever make me laugh or smile vanished. My hope vanished. The only person to ever hold me close, tell me I would be okay..vanished. All the memories repeated in my brain, almost mocking me - kicking me when I was already down. It was a new, unknown pain.. And for the first time in my life... I felt incomplete - like when you said those five simple words, part of me.. vanished in to thin air, and I was simply just a fraction.
~
It's been 5 months, and I have partially healed. I have fully forgiven you, and am doing the very best I can to move on.. but when I stop and think.. it all floods back... the conversations, the inside jokes, the tears we shared, and all of the other memories... I know that one day I will forget. I will forget the little memories that onced meant everything.. but the one thing I will never forget.. is goodbye.
