last episode of friends

it feels like the last episode of friends
my roomate said on the night before the flight
and then there was silence

parting is always such sweet sorrow
a short two years
seems like
a fly by
a pit stop
like waiting at an airport
for the next connecting flight
which goes back home.

now that i'm home
i have been making good use of my time
by meeting various people
and going to various places

it seems like a time of mending bridges
that have been left unsupported

i've been doing thing that only one with
free time would and could do.

cleaning out the garage...
washing the car outside...
raking the leaves...
organizing all the clothes...since unpacking halifax
playing wii...
watching tv...
and helping a friend build a model for his final project
all time well spent!

disussed the job aspect for the summer as well
with the architect i'm working with...
i have work to do and i'm glad i won't
be in the office 9-5 yet this summer.

probably start that in the fall
and perhaps start studying for those
licensing exams...

but for now...
take
it
easy

closing time

for some reason this song came to my head at 2am.
closing time by semisonic.

closing time
open all the doors and let you out into the world
closing time
turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
closing time
one last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
closing time

you don't have to go home but you can't stay here

so i can't stay here...

it's time to go home eh...
life planning 101 begins again.
and the struggle will begin to occupy my time...
or as proven many times before...
there will be no struggle at all.

so gather up your jackets
move it to the exits
i hope you have found a friend
closing time
every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

it's time go get back to where i came from.
it seems odd this time to go back.
home now seems somewhat like a foreign place...

i've enjoyed my time here
and the abrupt stop
will bring a time for change.

every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

thinking of the things i'll lose...
i've gained more than i would have thought.
i've gained a brother and sister.

when one leaves, one comes back.
god provides.
trust those two words.
because he has never failed.

in the time here...
a mere two years...
it's been eventful...

here's to an accomplishment
that was challenging and fulfilling.

we gather and we depart
we gather and we depart
one significant part of everyday life.
with different time scales at play.

it's time to enjoy the time that's left.
