You left today.
Just took off,
Gone to find yourself in new ways,
To explore the world.
And I am so proud of you for doing this.
So proud that you are willing
And ready
To be so brave
And adventurous.
I am so happy that you are happy,
Doing this thing that you so badly
Want to do.
I am jealous, even,
Of your ambition and your confidence.
Of how you feel so comfortable leaving
Everything
And everyone
Behind.
I know you, though.
And I know you'll be fine.
And I know you'll have fun.
And I know this is so important for you,
Such an awesome experience.
But I miss you.
And I guess that's the bottom line,
Isn't it?
