Distance has become a way of life it seems.

Someone always feels left behind.

Loneliness and hopelessness is normal.
It can have the power to end great things.
It can break hearts.
The end of the summer.
Is always the same.
Always feels like people are leaving.
Leaving me.

And play time is over.

I have trouble being on my own.

But this year is different.
This year I am excited.
For all the adventures ahead of me.
Although I'll miss everyone just the same.
I know their love is always there.
I admit I have butterflies again.
But I'm still working.
Working on loving me.
So no one else has to.
