(We are REALLY close)

Answer 1

havnt you heard?

bff

best friend forever

duh

Answer 2

i've had this experience at least twice in the past few years and it will happen again next year when i would be the one who has to move away.

the best thing to do is live life the way you would as if she's not going anywhere because thinking about losing each other constantly will only shorten your time together.  let nature take its course.  keep your mind off of it and spend more quality time together.

of course there would be days where you would feel sad and feel like crying, the best solution is let your tears out and comfort each other.  you would feel so much better because keeping your tears in would make you feel even depressed. so once you let it all out, you can move on and focus on the happier things.

have a great year.

Answer 3

this is a really bad anaolgy, but its sort of like ripping a band-aid off. the slower u do it, the more painful it is. but when u do it quick, it doesnt hurt as bad. u will miss her either way, but if u drift apart u will miss her before, and after she is gone. enjoy the time u have left together and hopefully, u can stay in touch

Answer 4

i say u shood stay as you are now and keep in touch

good luck!

Answer 5

I had a friend move away from me to a really far place last year, and we were really close too!We were best friends till the end, but now she doesn't really reply to my mails.

But I certainly don't think YOU shouldn't let that happen! 'Drifting away' doesn't really make the goodbye less painful, anyway.

Answer 6

keep in contact as much as possible bcoz there is nothing else you can do-you can always visit.  

Answer 7

you can always talk on the phone and email. a true friendship is just to valuable to throw it away for things like that
