13

13 friends, of who I've made amends

13 lies, now wiped away to my surprise

13 breaths, until this heart attack

13 boxes, until I am completely packed away

13 minutes, for you to tell me how much I meant to you

13 seconds, for a tear to fall from my eye

13 memories, all of them with you

13 lovers, all who have taught me everything I know about love

13 nights, for me to write these words in this room

13 days, all of which will slowly start to fade

13 pictures, to remind me of how it used to be

13 songs, all about leaving that make me want to cry

13 lines, until I am done with all of the bad things that happened in this town

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I officially move in 13 days...but I won't be around much in the next 2 weeks while I am trying to get ready to leave...so it feels liek I am already gone
