en I'd rather be in some dark holler where the sun don't ever shine, than to be alone just knowin' that you're gone as I slowly lose my mind. So blow your whistle freight train, take me far on down the track. I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' today. I'm goin' and I ain't comin back.

en After awhile you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats with you head up and your eyes open.
With the grace of maturity, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on
Today because tommorow's ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong
And that you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn and learn ....
With every goodbye you learn.

It is good for the digestion.
  Susan Sontag
