Goodbye

Goodbye Stranger - Supertramp

...and

when i look behind me, 

my troubles will be few.

but what it is i have to do

makes it seem impossible to move one step forward to get away from you.

but i know it's what i have to do.

i used you as a crutch...

and i used you way too much.

i know that if i want to see clearly then

i must lose all forms of touch...

so goodbye stranger...

it's been nice...

hope i find my paradise.

funny how some songs take you back to a specific second in time, an exact moment, location, you can even recall the temperature...and of course, who you were with. this song is very special...it is the one way i still have contact with someone from my past who was once my brother, even the way we looked was fraternal, our minds, in synch, our hearts, similar...and one song, this one, was one we both said one day, at the same time, was one of our all time favorites. i don't know where he is now, i don't know how to get a hold of him..i don't think i should even try, because sometimes, things happen, and for that very second, you think it's the end of the world...but then...time goes by, and you forget.

but everytime you hear that song...

   it all comes flooding back.

but the time is here.

i know...

i do.
