thinking vacation birds-chirping
Standing here, in this quiet house where I can hear the birds chirping out back, I think I’m kind of getting the concept of closure. It’s no big dramatic before-after.

Something special is ending, and you’re sad, but you can’t be that sad because, hey, it was good while it lasted, and there’ll be other vacations, other good times.

You begged me to stay. You stood over me and you made a promise to me, as sacred as any vow.
