No this isn't a thread about breaking up, but it does involve a girl leaving.
About eight months ago a girl started working at my store, who'm I did have a huge crush on (I promise you this story isn't going the way you think it is). A little while later I found out she was gay, but my crush was so huge I still wanted to pursue something with her.
Well it only took about two times hanging out with her to realize that her sexuality was a big part of who she was as a person, and to try and change that would show a huge lack of respect to her.
Well needless to say I focused that energy from that crush into strengthening my friendship with her, and strengthen it I did. From that point on I loved hanging out with her, and she did me. Sure we saw each other at work a lot, but if I went a week or more without hanging out with her she'd always text me telling me she missed me and we needed to hang out again. At the time she was just another friend to me, someone to hang out with and have fun.
Well, that was until about two weeks ago when she told me she was moving to Oregon. Apparently the parents of her roommate were pressuring her to move out and at the same time an opportunity presented itself in Oregon that would be both cheap and convenient (she's even able to transfer to the store down there). Well I've been looking back on these past months as her friend (and maybe, just maybe I'm putting more stock into this because she's leaving) but I feel really enriched to have had her as a friend, and it just kills me that she's moving away. Her parents are up here and I'm sure she'll try to hook up with me while she's up here, but not living near me just won't be the same.
I'm just really bummed that there is really more things I would have liked to do with her that I never got the chance to. Before I found out she was moving I suppose I just figured she'd be around for a while. For example tonight while hanging out I saw my basketball and mentioned I would love to shoot some hoops with her, and she mentioned I had to wait till she was leaving to bring that up...
I don't know, I'm not looking for a lot, I just wanted a place to air my thoughts, I know we all go through this, and sure, this doesn't sting as much as breaking up with a girlfriend would, it still feels like the end of something special.
