The last goodbye

So this is how it ends, bittersweet.

I said bye to the girl I have lived with for the past five months, knowing that one day I will visit her and her parents in Portugal because the friendship we forged here will last us a lifetime. She reminded me that I shouldn't give up my dreams for anybody, and lent me some of her courage when I was in need of some. She cooked me dinner on my first day here, and took me to church on my first Sunday because I was clueless about taking the bus even though she doesn't have the faith I have. I will always remember how she was always there to lend me a listening ear.

And now a chapter closes for the both of us, and a new one begins.

I will miss you Maria :')

P/S I also learnt how to pronounce Maria the right way: not ma-ria, but mer-ria :)
