With true friends, there are no "Goodbyes," only "See you laters."

Standing in a tight stairway at a friend's house during our farewell party, I said those lines as tears brimmed and sobs choked the air.

It was the end of our senior college year. One buddy was returning to Hong Kong. Three were off to Medical school. One to Law school. Another to the business world. And I was jumping into the web design field.

Some let go their damns of grief. It was a passionate and fervent moment. They cried in each other's arms. In warm embrace, we all wept and lamented the closing of a chapter of our lives.

I didn't cry though. Though I knew this was a farewell party, I knew it wasn't a true farewell. Deep in my heart, I knew I would see them again. For better or for worse. We would all meet up again someday.

Because with true friends, there are no "Goodbyes," only "See you laters."

. . .

Ever have to say goodbye to good friends?
