Memories..

While getting ready to leave my apartment in New York.. I don't know why but I just turned around and ran back into my room... One last time I closed my eyes and opened them to look through the bay windows.. right where the Hudson River was gently being pierced by the sun.. Where the molten gold was rolling itself magnanimously over the azure water... and the water was reflecting.. glimmering.. shining..

I just stood there.. drinking in what was before me.. and then I shut my eyes again...

I turned around and there I saw standing my two pillars.. My roommate and my best friend.. and suddenly a million memories of the past year flashed through my mind... Its never enough is it? I wanted just one more day where I could do what I had done for the past 383 days.. Spent my time with them and the many other people who made the past one year the most memorable in my life....

No matter how hard I prayed.. time didn't turn back.. and I was slowly escorted out of 24G..

Even today when I close my eyes.. I see my windows.. the river and the sun.. and wonder.. if ever.. once more... once again...
