Goodbye or “see you later”?

During the last four months and 6 days I have met a lot of wonderful people. 

Some of them became my friends and we spent a lot of time together and others I just saw now and then, but I still really like them. 

Now we are almost at the end of the semester and people are already going home and saying their last goodbyes. I never imagined that it would be that difficult. I really fear for the next goodbyes I am going to give in the near future.

It is not just because we have had a wonderful time together in Finland and are sad to leave. But, who says that we ever are going to see each other again? We do promise that we are going to stay in contact and meet again, but soon we will be spread all over the world and what then? And that is exactly why I think is is so hard to say goodbye.

I sincerely hope that we will have the will to keep our promises about staying in contact and making reunions, that would at least make the goodbye easier... 

As Beethoven once said (At least I think it was him): "Never shall I forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours."

And to end my rambling about sad goodbyes, here is a little song
