While this isn't the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet, I agree with that young lady that "parting is such sweet sorrow". We work the majority of our lives, surrounded by people who are ultimately peripheral to our lives and engaged in an activity which is not our first choice (most of us, anyway). Then, the job lets you have a sojourn into another world where you spend every day with people you want to spend time with and you realise that those people at work weren't so bad after all (just kidding, all!). It's an odd thing to know you will only see many of the key people in your life once or twice a year if you are lucky. I guess the only thing you can do with those moments is make them count.
