I never thought this day would come. Although here it is. So unknown and so clear. These years of understanding, devotion. I have loved no other, as I have loved you. Here I am, heathervescent, one of 4 million, wrapped in your asphalt paved arms, under your vanilla sky.
I have wondered, at times, where I might go, should I leave you. No city in the United States can match your tough elegance, your grit and glamour. Where in the world could I go? West Texas? Rio de Janeiro? The answer: unknown.
I shouldn't be surprised. I've been bored with my life for a bit. I've been asking for, desiring an adventure. Be careful what you wish for right? I'm never careful for what I wish for. It's what my heart desires. An adventure pulls up, a door opens, and I get in. Life is short and we all die. And life is long and has many twists and turns.
This time, you're the Queen of Spain sending me off to the new world. Except you're my Queen, La Dona, and we're already on the edge of the world. Where can I go from here? I have no idea. But I know with the same certainty that lead me into your arms, that I'm going.
The end of a chapter has begun.
