Time flew by, and the first day of classes came faster than I had anticipated. The hallways were ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, voices echoed from every corner, and everyone seemed eager to find their new classrooms. Yet, in the midst of all the excitement, I found myself looking for youโ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ โ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ฆ๏ผ
Then we looked back at each other.
Just for a split second.

It felt bitter knowing that things would be different now. We wouldn't share the same classroom anymore, and we wouldn't laugh together like we used to.
But as I stood there, I realized that the sadness that sprouted in my heart wasn't coming from regret. It came from knowing how much I cherished all of our shared moments.
I didn't wish for more time.
I was simply grateful for the time we had.

My heart felt heavy, but at the same time, it was fullโfull of love, gratitude, and happiness. As we stood at the threshold of tomorrow, I learned that goodbyes remind us of how lucky we were to have shared a chapter worth remembering.
