A Talk To Remember

I had been left there in the open plains with the dark sky overhead.
I had lost it all.
I had begun my exile once again.
I still remained there knees in the ground, tears streaming down my face.
A hand touched my shoulder.
I looked over to see who it was.
It was my oldest and most dearest friend.
I had not seen him for a long time now.
He said to me "How's it goin?"
I wiped the tears from my face.
I said to Brad, "Man, I've lost..."
"No, you didn't, you just learned how to express how you feel about things, its ok, I've had to let go of a lot of things." He said that with a coolness to his voice.
I stood there and I felt like my mind had been blown away.
He was true.
I needed to remember who I am.
I needed to let go of it all.
Cut my losses.
So I have done just that.
And now we'll see how that goes.
"You can exist with them, but don't get involved, Don't hold onto something that hurts you Scoots."
He showed me the town.
He showed me his pain.
He showed me his renewed self.
He inspired me to become like that.

***Song That Spoke Miles Upon Miles Upon Me***
Fort Minor "Where'd You Go?"

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself tryna stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me when I feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Hallowe'en with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once in a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
Anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For while you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you'll can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
