" Listen, if I've done anything or you don't want to be my friend anymore I get it. Just tell me and I'll leave you alone. It's not really a big deal. "

The open mine 310 degrees north west of here is blowing more pieces of earth apart. My window rattles and the morning sun filters into my room.

Even though it blew me apart like pieces of rock in a mine. Now the dust has settled, I understand why it had to happen.
