A 20-Something Crossroads

Journal writing always brings back fond memories of transition. I was hanging out at my place this past summer thinking about how I got to where I am today, about how when I was 25 I had no idea how to get to where I wanted to be...I only knew that I needed to get out of Dogde (New York for me) sooner than later if I was going to retain my sanity and attain happiness. My one drawback to leaving that day, of course, was my girlfriend...she didn't want to go. I knew, however, that I needed to go. I tried talking her into coming, but that didn't work. And so it goes. All things happen for a reason, I guess...I met my wife in Colorado the first week I got there :)

"A 20-Something Crossroads"

I’m leaving town some way, I won’t be coming back
It’s the only way to get my life on track
I wish that you would say, you’d leave with me today instead of, “stay.”
You’re never gonna change my mind this way
I understand just why you’re so afraid

Something’s gotta give if we want to live
I know in time you’ll see the truth

But I think about you
Been thinking about you
It’s all that I can do

Another sleepless night awaits me
I close my eyes, look inside, and long to see your face
So many things that I remember about the look in your eyes
As I said goodbye to you
