14 years and the same song

Funny how even as we grow, age sbd change certain songs touch a certain chord in our soul. One of these for me is hopeless by train (http://youtu.be/QxKiwMCp7BM )

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!
