we've got so much to feel good about, so stop your fucking whining

We all live here in this absurd town where nothing happens. Where no one's happy unless there's something real going on. And when something real is going on, it's not good enough. The friendships you once knew dwindle into oblivion, and when push comes to shove you count yourself lucky you're the one leaving. But when you leave it feels like you never really left. Live in a town long enough and it'll leave long lasting permanent scars even a lazer won't remove. But you leave and you feel content. It feels good. Like you've come out of a spinning loop. A dark circle. There are no whispers in the hallway as you walk past. There are no dirty looks. Or no lack of them. But you leave all the same. You start reconsidering your choices. What did I actually leave behind? No one really comes to mind. Except that boy. That boy who raised you in the air at that dirty nightclub and spun you around, while you laughed till you cried. That boy you kissed goodbye in the taxi in the early hours of the morning. That boy who told you all about him, who made you listen and opened your eyes to all of those new things. You left him. And once in a blue moon when you return, you realize he's still there. And your heart soares and you can't help but smile all day long because it feels like a thousand butterflies are dancing the conga in your stomach. He's still there. But isn't he always? And is that a comfort or a pain?
