My Emancipation Proclamation (8/30/11)


Because he showed up today, out of the blue... after all this time.
He aimed his smile at me and launched pretty words into the air...
and I said exactly this...
"You were a bad habit when I knew you well.  Now you are an occational pleasant memory.  I'd like to keep it that way.  Please understand."

As I said it, I realized it was true, and has been for a long time.  Seven years of pain just melted away.  I walked on feeling weightless.

Sometimes you gotta start clean.  You gotta begin, not begin again.
