I always knew this day would come
The closer it is the more difficult it seems There are so many things I'm going to miss out on So many years spent together - so many years of seeing each other every day Suddenly the walls are quieter - the halls run empty The only sounds that remain to echo through the walls is the knocking of the fridge, Lola's chewing, and the washer walking when it's throwing an off balance angry temper tantrum As sad as it is - is as exciting as it is A new chapter beginning while one closes I cried on the outside and died a little inside when I cleaned off my corkboard on my desk It was a hard thing to swallow Memories that had been pinned in place for years had remained unchanged but were given additions Old photos of friends I once knew and jobs I once held - places my husband and I had went to - rings and necklaces that I never left the house without Oh how the times change - how routines change - how people change The best way I can describe what I am going through right now is a Toy Story reference The when were Andy is growing up and going to college - they are showing his room through the years what it looked like and how it changed - more and more things disappearing off the walls - from the floor and the bed That is me - every time I go in my room more and more things are gone Before long there will be nothing left Just an empty room with a carpet And a house full of memories and photos I joke that we should have a sleep over party once a week but I know the answer is no - even though sometimes I kind of wish it could be yes No one ever said letting go was easy or that change was easy but they also didn't warn that leaving your home would be just as hard Maybe not for all but for some As I've been looking around and noticing things more I have come to appreciate the little things that for some reason I thought would always be there Time to take the training wheels off and to grow up Isn't it funny that whenever you are a kid you think that life is so hard and all you want to do is be an adult Then when you are an adult you realize how easy you had things as a kid and only wish you could go back Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya!
