Leaving on a John Denver song.
Because once, I could look at this place
without apathy or despair.
Because this all began as an adventure.
Because it still is,
but I already know the solution.
Because kindred spirits
find you whether you want them to or not.
Because a new life doesn't necessarily mean a better one.
Because I could always feel like a child
and an old man at the same time here.
Becasuse the American dream
was always just that, a dream.
Because summer nights in middle America
hold you like your mother used to.
Because the ocean and I
are too much alike for comfort.
Because this is the one place
I didn't fall in love.
Because time is a thief.
Because loving some place
always seems to involve letting it go.
I am leaving this place
and for once
I don't feel sad.
