Bye Bye

[darkhaibane]

Today was an important day in my life, t'was the day that Tomoki leaves for Japan once again after staying with me for ten months. I am actually quite sad, like, it really hit me hard. It was like losing a brother, because we basically spent all our time together. I mean, I am not the most social person, I only go out to go to work and school really, so when I am not doing that, we were together, or we would go somewhere together. I think there were only about five times in which we didn't hang out together. We became very close. So, this morning was pretty hard to see him go, actually, what was even harder was helping him pack during the week and cleaning up my room and the basement today. It's just so empty. It is now my room again, not our, which is a concept I am still getting used to. Like, I took out all the useless sheets of paper, boxes, I put away all the stuff he couldn't take back with him in two boxes so I can mail them. Heh, that is going to be fun, because I have to write the address and everything in Japanese, and I have never seen the kangi before, so I'm scared I might screw up. But, yeah, once everything was put away, and organized (it was still sort of messy from packing everything), it was just empty. Even driving home with the family after dropping him off, it was very tense and just, not the same. I said to my family that we are back to our normal family of four, but really..It's not the same, because Tomoki is like the fifth member, and now he is gone, so everything isn't the same, it is completely different. Although I am most likely seeing him again in September, if I don't, then it is going to be a very long time, and for my family it will be even longer. Well, right now he is probably in Vancouver boarding the flight to Narita Airport, but wherever he is, I must thank him. I have learned a lot from him, and even though I am going in September, I still got a firm idea of what Japanese culture is like, and I have had a great experience, and made a great friend. So, Thanks Tomoki, it will never be the same without you..
