..sigh..

Ahh, the dreaded sigh strikes again. As I pack my stuff for my return to the Bay Area tomorrow morning, I hear the one song in the iPod that I really didn't want to hear tonight. For although a bunch of it doesn't really apply, the chorus most certainly has in the past and does in the present.

"What a Fool Believes"

"He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool, don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him...

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees..."

The bad part is that I can blame no one for this but myself. I was not led astray, not pushed, certainly not misled. Not the first time, nor will it be the last. No apology necessary...for it is simply to a wise man...without the power to reason away =)

Although it comes with the knowledge that a return to work is shortly thereafter, as a Debbie Downer reminded me earlier (rolling eyes), it will be nice to be home. See you all soon.
