Careful Now

By the time you find your way

You gotta run right back to the start

Don't think you're lost

You gotta run right back to the start

And when you finally think it's gone

You gotta run right back to her arms

"I'm leaving for Austin permanently.  I just want you to know that if you ever need me, I'll be there for you.  Do you know how to get in touch with me?"

"Yeah, I think I still have your email address."

"Okay, good."

"Alright.  Be well."

Thoughts tonight: I haven't sat and had a decent conversation with this person in a year and a half.  Why is the leaving weighing so heavily on my heart?  Perhaps it's not the absence, but the distance that's going to kill me.  No more run-ins.  No more thoughts of where you are in Nashville.  You're leaving for good, leaving me lonely as hell.
