An odd coincidence happened to me recently. I was leaving billings after saying goodbye. (Side note, I'm terrible at goodbyes, I'd rather pretend people don't have to leave our lives). Back in '01 i drove the same streets, with the same song. Tears burning my eyes for the exact same reason. Goodbye.
The first go around it took me years to realize the goodbye I said would be permanent just not quite yet. The second time I knew it would be for sure, if not immediately than very soon.
Funny how two totally unrelated events could entertwine due to the luck of the draw on my playlist. I was just a girl the first time, a woman now. Yet, the ache is the same. Lonely even in a crowded room, but wishing nothing but blessings to those I was heading west from.
It was easy to erase the first from my life. There was no pictures, no tangible reminders or even places to bring heartache. I wish times were simpler like back then. Regardless, enjoy the song:)
I always do, a bittersweet reminder.
Blessings beloveds!
