I Am Free, but I Am Flawed


Seeing you yesterday helped me to realize something... yes.  You are absolutely fantastic and I love you more than anything.  Away from boys and school and stress, carefully avoiding serious or heavy topics, we managed to just... have fun.  Be free and excited in the simple company of one another.  It was very reassuring, to know that I wasn't completely crazy in the decision to make you so important in my life.

But somehow yesterday made me realize that the world isn't going to end once you leave.  You are fun and amazing and intelligent, but there are lots of other people with such traits.  I will have more time for other people like that.  You are going to grow up and go off and do amazing things... and I'm pretty sure you'll be eager to tell me all about it.  I'll have to make sure to actually do stuff so that I have cool stories to share, too. 

Knowing you has been.... more than a pleasure.

Now it's time that I repaid you just a little bit.  I need to let you go.  No, I don't mean completely cut all ties.  I can't help but feel a bit entitled to a skype call or a facebook chat every couple weeks or so.  I mean that I need to move on.

And I will.
You will, too.
