It’s the place I’m from and I feel like I’ve been here too long. Sometimes I think it keeps me from finding something real –someone who’ll stick around anyway. Nobody else wants to be in this neck of the woods any longer than they have to. If they ever look back they see it as part of their origin story. The place they got their start instead of the place they ended up. Maybe their story unfolded into other stories. Maybe one of those stories led them to the kind of life they always wanted. But here’s a story about the kind of beginning that plays a part in the end –the kind where you’re so stuck on the person you’re with you want to stay that way, even when the person’s not there. So you focus on a particular set of memories. Maybe if you’re lucky, you find someone else, but the memories keep coming back. And when they do, you let them. Let them do their thing and move on.
