girl goes to foreign country, girl meets boy, boy tells girl they have to be just friends because it would be too hard when she leaves, boy says this for 3 months, girl finally gives up and boy seems to have suddenly changed his mind, girl is happy but at the same time sad she only has a month left, day girl has to leave finally comes, BOY (note the emphasis) kisses girl on the cheek, girl gets real sad she has to leave boy but decides she'll come back in 5 & 1/2 months, girl believes they can make it that long, girl gives the boy the only thing she can her first kiss then leaves but when she looks back boy looks happy, she cries almost all the way home an then every night for a week because boy isn't talking to her, then they start talking again and things are good, valentine's day is perfect or as perfect as it can be with them on different continents girl thinks, 3 & 1 /2 months after girl left boy, boy tells girl that he is "currently with someone at the moment." and that he's "really sorry" girl cries, girl just spent $381 on her visa to go see him (and other friends but mostly him), mostly girl is crying because she thought although they weren't physically seeing each other that they were together, day 1-3 girl can't figure out what she did wrong, day 2 girl finds out new girl's name then proceeds to try and figure out what happened on her own since boy won't talk to her, day 4-7 (after talking to friends) girl gets pissed, week 2 girl really misses boy but has been convinced that if he really cared about her he would have handled that better, week 3 girl cries some more and finds out that new girl is 28 but kind of pretty and boy seems happy with her, week 4 girl needs to focus on exams regardless of the fact that she can't stop thinking about finals week in Australia and all that happened those last 3 weeks.
And that brings us to today, today girl thought she might get the chance to actually talk to boy, really talk to boy for the first time in over a month. Girl is disappointed and realizes how boy and girl's friends must have felt those last 3 weeks when boy and girl only wanted to spend time with each other. Girl misses boy not just because of the romantic bond they built not even mostly because of that bond. Girl misses boy because for 3 months before that bond. When he mistook her introverted nature for independence and her sarcasm for humour. He saw past the rough exterior that girl has built to keep her self from being hurt and he made a friend. Girl thought that boy was trustworthy that even if they were never more than friends that at least they were friends and could tell each other things. Girl misses boy because boy was girl's best friend when she needed one. Girl wants boy to be happy even if that's with someone else but girl also hoped boy would still try to be her friend
