So you'll be gone for a while
You want to see LA and you want to smile
and that's OK with me
I want you to be happy
I want you to be free
However it goes
it will
and there is no turning away
it is what it is and that's all it can be
please forgive me for being so blunt
I cannot forget that this is the end
freedom is so overrated and sad
so much chaos left to be had
You don't yet know my weaknesses
yet you have me figured out
you fill all my crevasses
alleviate all doubt
go and see
what you need to see
and feel what you feel
and what's meant to be
but leave me out
and forget what has been
go with a smile
and begin again
