All that you !(can't) leave behind

My roommate just gave me back the keys of the apartment and left. That was his last day in our apartment. This is probably is one of my last days here also. As soon as he closed the door behind him I thought of this U2 song. I can't recall the song exactly but I think is about love as many of their songs. I think it crossed my mind because of the complementary title and that made me sad. The complementary title would have been "All that you can leave behind" thus the negation goes only on "can".

The purpose of this post is just to capture the feeling of this moment. After two years being roommate of this fellow makes me really sad that we are not friends, that he knows me as a geeky,nerdy,crazy asshole PhD student, and I know him as a lame selfish person with a good heart deep inside. The thought that all the things I can remember from him belong to the ones that I can leave behind makes me sad. They were two years of my life after all. It is sad that I won't call him and he won't call me again despite that we didn't have an argument but this is how it's going to happen

I know that I'm being sentimental right now just because of the moment and probably tomorrow or few hours later my cynical/survival-enabled self will appear again but... what the heck for the shake of these two years, for all the things that I may can leave behind...Farewell Panos, all the best !!
