The  equivalent  to  this has happend to me three times.  Once the other
person moved to a city 4 hrs. away and so we would still see each  other
~twice/month.  However, the other two people moved to Europe!

Of  these  latter  two, one is probably the person I've felt closest to,
ever, so her moving away was in a sense a serious  drag.   But,  (and  I
hate  to  admit  this)  it  was  only  after she moved away that I truly
realized the depth of our relationship.  I have been to see her a couple
of  times  in  the  years  since she moved away, and each visit was more
special than the previous; in fact I would even call them high points in
my life.

The  way  I  look  at  this is that our lives are on different roads and
there's not much one can do about that, if you want to be yourself.  But
I continually hope that one day our roads will cross again, and maybe we
might be able to get together for good.  Meanwhile, I  frequently  think
how  special  it was to be with her and that I was lucky to have such an
experience.  And I hope I see her again before too long.
