    “Now I don’t know why I forgive the things you do to me /
    I don’t know why I don’t have the guts to set you free /
    If I had one last wish I know what that would be /
    Well, I’d wish I weren’t your prisoner and that I could be released /”
    Reckless Kelly, Back Around

    I’ll be your solid ground /
    Take every chance you dare /
    I’ll still be there /
    When you come back down /”

    “[he] stopped in the entrance and looked at his wristwatch. He wanted particularly to know the time for something in his mind that catalogued and classified things liked to chip things off cleanly. Later it would satisfy him in a vague way to be able to think that the thing ended at exactly twenty minutes after eight on Thursday June 10, 1919. This was allowing for the walk from her house…”

    “I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much. I write it down and Mango says goodbye sometimes. She does not hold me with both arms. She sets me free. One day I will pack my bags of books and paper. One day I will say goodbye to Mango. I am too strong for her to keep me here forever. One day I will go away.”

    “Maybe that’s just growing up. When you’re young, you tell yourself things like “Well, if it didn’t work out, it wasn’t meant to be” as if that actually meant something just because it sounds like it does. I think you can say something like that so blithely because you expect to stumble onto something else just as wonderful just around the next bend in the road. But people are rare perfect unique things and just because everyone really does live a life full of farewells doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least realize what it really means to say goodbye to something that meant everything. Just because you will survive and get over it doesn’t mean you should let it go.”

    “You’ll be grateful that a long time ago this kind of person chose to be your friend. But now you’ll realize that even a person like this outgrows his friends. Even a person like this makes mistakes, can’t always hold on to everything they’d like to, can’t always force the world to spin in the direction of their choosing. You’ll hug him longer than necessary and tell him to keep in touch. And you’ll know, finally, that it had nothing to do with you.”
    Sloane Crosley, I Was Told There Would Be Cake
