Today

I am allowed to gloat....this one time.
Then I'll shut up, promise.

He dumped me this day.
The last day of break.
I was asleep in the back of his uncle's car
drowsily climbed the stairs to our apartment
sat on the couch full of anticipation
that we had reunited.

Then he let out those ominous words
I'm moving back to Illinois
It's all kind of blurry but the message was definite.
And I sobbed
Ironically on a love seat.
How dare he make a hipster out of me.

All I can say now is
Fuck You
and
Thank You.

Today I woke up to the sun
and slept in
Lingering with my favorite blonde
and his slightly lavender eyelids.
Time heals
and I'm ever so happy.

I've had the adventure of a lifetime this year.
I moved three times,
I kissed a dozen boys
almost died
went skiing
played lots of hockey
danced my face off
drank on weekdays
got a job playing with dirt
fell in love with mountains
met someone new
What's not to like?

Thank you for the memories
and thanks for letting me go
when I was too stubborn
to see something was definitely not working.
I'm much better for it.
Incredible,
how one day can change
your entire life.
