four months left on vacation and you already packed your bags
123 days left in this city, and some of you went to your hotel rooms
and i haven't seen you since
2,952 hours until paris is just a stamp on your passport and you're
acting like you're already gone
177,120 seconds might pass you by because you couldn't find the
eiffel tower without your tour guide
well i can't count how long it took me to write my first blog post
and i don't know how many hours i spent on my journal
but i know that five months have come and gone and i'm not just a
tenant here anymore
and i know that paris might be a metaphor but it's always felt more
real that alpine, utah
i know that i always end up saying hello just before i'll have to
say goodbye
i know that i still have 1 year and 326 days until i can breath
again
and i know that we'll take turns coming home
paris can't wait on me forever
so i have four months to say goodbye, and four months to say what i
want to say
and not enough time for any of it
This was sad. And true. And beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWay to go. You wrote a piece that makes people feel SOMETHING.
That's no small feat.
The metaphors in this whole piece made me feel.
