Around the corner I have a friend,

In this great city that has no end,

Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,

And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,

For life is a swift and terrible race,

He knows I like him just as well,

As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine but we were younger then,

And now we are busy, tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say!

"I will call on Jim Just to show that I'm thinking of him."

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,

And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner, yet miles away,

"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."

And that's what we get and deserve in the end.

Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late. Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.

I got that from an email from a friend of mine. I thought it was lovely and true, so I put it up. I'm home now. Any of my Novi peeps wanna hang out, just give me a ring. You know what to do. Shine the V-sign in the sky and I'll be there in no time! j/k Unfortunatly, home is not where the heart is. Now, dont get me wrong. I am not hurting over this anymore (not for at least 1/2 year) so dont get all pity-party on me. Just letting you know.

PS - it seems so hard these days to have a deep relationship with people. Everyone seems so surface.agent. Including some of my cherished ones... Pffttt. Maybe it's my imagination.

Who leaves their window open in the winter!? I do!!!
