what a way to say goodbye

May 29, 2009 20:45

it's been a while since i've sat on the roof. the trees ahead are lush and furred with leaves, obscuring my usual view of rooftop and horizon. it's 8:46 and still light outside. the wind is cool on my face. i close my eyes.

today was the last day of school before exams. i almost cried during some of my classes. i'm going to miss this year... every painful, glorious, heartbreaking, incredible moment. it was a roller coaster, yes, but it was so worth it.

see, this... this feels like an ending. fischoff was a beginning, but this couldn't be more distinct. it's a culmination. it's a series of flashbacks, bright with laughter and tears and surprises. it's a rewind and the knowledge that i'll never be where i am right now ever, ever again.

"bring on the evidence of my life."

i want to stay here forever, right in this second. i never want to forget how it feels. it's as if i've just written my life on paper and now that i'm at the end, i'm rereading it from the beginning, reminiscing in aging sepia. i don't want this to fade. i can't allow it to do so.

"i want to tell the story of a year."

could i?

i'm going to miss this.

bittersweet, endings, thoughts, roof
