Goodbyes

Change is here, and I hear the best way to handle it is to run at it fast. I don't want to though. I want to race in the other direction and hide in the crevices of everything I know. It's not that I'm not excited about what's ahead, cause I am. I'm just in love with what is now. Life.is.good. However, since the van is out front and movers and crashing down the door it seems it is time for goodbyes.

Dear Lieshy05,
You are the best roommate in the world and I love you to death. I don't think I've ever met someone as kind and caring as you are. In the past 2 years you have become one of my closest friends, and I feel as though I've known you my whole life. You are always so encouraging and fun-loving (I know that word is ridiculously cheesy but I don't care it's PERFECT for you). You are the best at making me laugh, and I will forever miss you.

Dear MegB,
Man am I ever glad that you had a terribly stinky roommate and were forced to live at my house for half the semester. You are hilarious, witty, and brilliant. Please never change. You INSPIRE me!

Dear my Michael,
What a gentleman you are. I can sincerely say that you have made me a better person. You were a fabulous boyfriend and I will never forget anything about everything. You are such a beautiful person, I'm just in awe. Don't ever let the world bring down your spirits, because they sore so above and beyond any that I've ever seen.
Thank you thank you thank you.

...and last but not least

Dear Logan,
This is my official goodbye. I don't know what my future holds, or whether we will meet again, but may I take the time to say I am mad about you.
I don't know if it is the way everything slows down and speeds up at the exact same time, or the way you make me feel secluded from the rest of the world, nestled safely within the arms of your valley. Whatever it may be, I am convinced there is no place else in the world quite like this.
You've enticed me, thrilled me, scolded me, taught me, entertained me, made me, and It's been enchanting. I remember when we first met. You deceived me with your sunshine and 90 degree weather, I thought I'd found heaven. However despite your betrayal of gruesome winters and never ending snow storms, I just couldn't let you go. You just kept on winning me back with your promising days of sunshine, and beautiful Aggie spirit. Perhaps you will forget me, perhaps I am no different than the other thousands of 20 year olds that pass through looking for themselves, and their matches. But I will never forget you. You will linger in my mind, your mark will remain on my soul, for you have found permanent residence in my heart.


Thank you. Thank you for showing me what I am composed of and what I can withstand.



Love you all,
Emily Rachelle Kofford
