"Said goodbye to my parents - I was 26. I hopped in my Mirage, and off I went. And when the dust all settled, I was in Sedona. I met you and Peter there on that couch in the hostel. And we all had a fever, and we were all on our own, to make a new life somewhere and call it home. But when I looked in your eyes, the whole world was there. I felt no more longing. I had no reason to care.
"I told you I loved you. Did you feel the same way? I was so sure that you did, but then it all went away.
"I don't know how it started - it came on so slow. One day I was just in it, and that's all I would know. I'd been hearing voices again, but couldn't make out what they'd say, so I tried not to listen, and keep things the same. I went for a walk about 6AM in downtown Nashville - I had liked it there. And I climbed some scaffolding to the roof of the state building. The wind was so strong at the top, but I could see everything. There was only one way down, so I sent you a text, and I wrapped all my things in a kleenex. And I was falling, it didn't feel like death. It felt like was leaving one place, and on to the next.
