How does it feel
to miss someone
a person who you used to see every day -- all day
even if it was just for a second?
How does it feel
to remember walking through familiar doors,
take in the familiar smells of old wood and cement
for countless years, then
one day you wake up and realize
you aren't walking back through those doors anymore?
How does it feel
to leave home behind
spending your last minute as if it were your first
and completely forgetting that
you're not going back for a long while?
How does it feel
that feeling
just a feeling
that you walked away from the best
and the worst memories...
That's how I felt as my gown and cap were handed to me.
It was
The beginning of the end.
