Got an email from the ex this week. He said a few things that made me remember why I loved him. Mom's advice was to not open that can of worms again. Her words. Wise, of course, since that part of my life is over and done, but it makes me feel quite pensive just the same. I was glad to hear that he's doing ok, I was worried that he'd let everything fall down around himself. (My heart's too big to not care, after all.) Ironically, J's advice was to "get some closure" on it. I had my closure, hon. Trust me.


"Clear The Area" ~Imogen Heap

Knock, knock...are you alone?
No one's out here and I was not followed.
Love, love...you're already home.
Party's over and you don't look so good.

You find your way back down.
And I'll keep the area clear...please clear the area.
When you find your way back down...in one piece.
Then I'll just be waiting here...right here.

Low light...mercury morning...
No need to stay as it's always nothing.
But your eyes tell a whole other story...and I feel the weight of the world.
Won't talk...Won't try...just move...
It's too still in your sadness.
Cry...give up...it's okay...
You've just got to trust me.

You find your way back down.
And I'll keep the area clear...please clear the area.
When you find your way back down...in one piece.
Then I'll just be waiting here...right here.

Slowly...darling...nobody means anymore to me than you
If you're in...baby then I'm in (into this)...with you, always.
Careful...close to the edge...(You're scaring me)
Fall in to my arms....(where did it all fall?)
Fall...into love...love...

You find your way back down.
And I'll keep the area clear...please clear the area.
When you find your way back down...in one piece.
Then I'll just be waiting here...right here.

You find your way back down.
Way back down,
And I'll keep the area clear...please clear the area.
When you find your way back down...in one piece.
Then I'll just be waiting here...right here.
