Washington

Red has decided to leave. Leave Tall, her fiance. Leave Colorado, one of her first and best friends in Texas. Leave me, her best friend. She is going back home, to Washington. We are all very sad, kinda hurt and resentful. She went home for two weeks and decided she didn't love Tall anymore. He has been so sad lately. I haven't posted since I found out, I was hoping she would change her mind. Tonight is the first night we will get any kind of girl time. We are going to the library and the mall. Tall won't let us have a girl night if he is here. I miss my best friend and I feel like he is ignoring the fact that all of us are loosing her. Anytime she says anything about spending time without him, he sulks until she changes her mind. Oh well...

She said something about going home
She said something about needing to spend some time alone
And she wondered out loud what it was she had to find
But she's already made up her mind

All my friends told me she was too young
Well I knew that myself and I tried to run
But the faster I ran the more I fell behind
Because she'd already made up her mind

She's already made up her mind

Now there is nothing so deep as the ocean
And there is nothing so high as the sky
And there is nothing so unwavering as a woman
When she's already made up her mind

So now she's sitting at one end of the kitchen table
And she is staring without an expression
And she is talking to me without moving her eyes
Because she's already made up her mind

She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind

And she said something about going home
And she said something about needing to spend some time alone
And she wondered out loud what it was she had to find
But she'd already made up her mind

So my friend carry me down to the water's edge
And then sail with me out to that ocean deep
And let me go easy down over the side
And remember me to her

She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind

Sometimes separation is a good thing. Maybe they will realize they need each other after all. Or maybe they don't.
