You didn't know
Whether to laugh or cry
Leaving looms
But tonight breathes
And in our tribe
No one leaves
Without a party.
We celebrate life
Each day a brand new
Adventure
Like Fifty First Dates
Not Groundhog Day
The videotape in your head
Is enough
You know your yesterdays
But you don't
Live in them.
And everyone you meet
As your minds and hearts
Sync up
Has a puzzle piece
You might recognize
If you remember why
"Two ears, one mouth."
You know your heart
Has its plan
Your head has
Objections
You gotta You wanna
But is anything fixed
In place or time?
And eternity is both
Timeless and instant
Which is why
Leaving
Is just another step
Toward saying
Hello again.
