This town

Knowing you were out of town this weekend, made this town seem a tad lonely to me. I mean, I had a great weekend so far in many ways, but you not being here made things seem slightly off-kilter. There have been other times when you have been gone when I also felt like this. When I would drive past your house and your car was not there, nor were the lights on, for two days, I would assume that you were in Sparkle, or visiting Nate, etc. I guess since we have split, maybe I keep grabbing for straws, but I do like this city more with you in it than I liked it before you were here. I can’t really put my fingers on it, but I know that you care about me, and it is comforting to know that even if we don’t see each other or talk that much, a person that lives right down the street from me has my best interest at heart, wants me to be happy and fulfilled. Hopefully you get some comfort in knowing that I am down here thinking the same things about you.
I guess all of this comes out of my fear that you will leave. This city will never be the same – not for me or many others. I know it may be what you have to do though. I wish that you had been able to make more of a go of it here already. It’s never too late to start.
I will support you, though, in whatever you need to do. I hope that you decide to give this and here a try though. You might be surprised.
