leaving

it isn't all of leaving that's hard. there are only parts that hit my heart so deep and hard. the beginning - all of them lined up waving as i left. and where am i going? this is one of the hard parts about leaving. i'm not so sure where it is that i'm going.

but then it was easy again. mountains! mountains! friends, hope, prayer, release. there are so many places and faces here and so much to love. i picked her up and we laugh, we laugh.

the worst part about leaving is that i am always leaving. there isn't one decision and then its over. in every state i'm leaving and in every state i'm not turning around. there are so many people and so many hearts. and there are oceans on either side.

did we know that we would leave so much unfinished business? did we know that leaving would be so continual?

i didn't know, i didn't know.
