The Blank Dan

a letter to a certain someone, supposedly moving to another country.

I write to you as i have for the past year, thinking of how to pass the time, thinking of ways to make my words rhyme. i\'ll be falling short i fear, as i watch the plane disappear. my thoughts are not yet complete, and i\'m afraid they\'ll never be..

i\'m not usually good with goodbyes, neither am i with telling lies. standing at the terminal a few moments ago, trying to hold on to every last minute, with my soul screaming for you to not go, eventhough... i know that you want to leave, and who am i to stop you.

And as you climb up into the sky, i want to thank your fear of heights, because you won\'t be looking down to see me cry.

i know when you were leaving i smiled, but on the inside i felt like a child, lost in the mall, i felt so small. i wanted to beg you not to forget me.

At our last goodbye, i tried thinking of what to say but nothing came out, it\'s like i\'ve lost the ability to speak or maybe it\'s the amount of thoughts making me weak. i wanted to wish you luck for everything to come, you\'re starting a new life, flipping a new page. i\'m really hoping it\'ll be fun, you\'re already past the most difficult stage. but if it isn\'t.. you\'ll always have a place to come back to. 

I wanted to tell you to stay but i couldn\'t stand in your way, so go. go live out your dreams, and as hard as it seems, go without me, leave, be free, you\'ll always be everywhere i look, in whatever i see. and even if after a while you forget my name, for me, you\'ll always be the same, the little light that gave me enough strength to fight. even with you gone, i know i\'m not alone, you\'ll always be with me...

well, anyway, have a safe flight, and text me when you get there, i\'ll stay awake late tonight. take care.
