Bye-bye, I thought, almost sure that I'd never see her again. But if I did - if we ran into each other someday - I knew we would smile and say polite things like How are you? and Give my regards to your parents, and we would secretly remember that we used to mean something to each other.

How is it that two people can need each other so absolutely and then, in moments, not even know how to be next to each other and just be quiet? ↗
