goodbye friend

Yesterday, Kiyomi (middle) called me to let me know she would be leaving for Japan in the morning. When you say goodbye to a friend that's moving to another state, it's hard, but you know there might be a chance you can visit sometime. When a friend moves back to Japan, you wonder if you will ever get the chance again to see her face to face. You want to stretch back the clock so that you met her two years ago instead of just five months ago, giving you more memories to keep hidden in your pocket.
