She Cried in the Kitchen / To Let You Go

And here it is. Another good friend off to the west coast. I've got all sorts of respect for possibilities and exploration, but that doesn't mean I want all my friends to pick up and leave. I know I'm not losing these guys, it just means they're harder to reach. But it does mean that I can't take a drive and hang out with them. And.... I don't want to make new friends!! Ugh. That sounds so ugly. But it's true. I'm not close-minded to meeting new people, it's just that I love my friends so much and I already know that no one is going to come into my life who is half as good to me as they already are. That goes for all of my friends, not only the ones out on the left side. Every one of them lends something so unique to the person that I am. I feel like everyone I meet from now on will just be decoration. Ornaments are pretty and all, but it's the foundation that really counts.
