TRYING TO WALK AWAY

Below are some of the scratches along the way:
(this one was pretty hard in coming, and wasn't even one of my best :P)

Another hug without kisses- 
an attempt to make me miss you less. 
But it didn't stop me from crying,
as I drove home, 
for the last time in three months... down Katie Highway. 

But that didn't stop me from crying as I drove 
for the last time down Katie Highway. 

I hugged you without kissing you, 
as I tried to walk away,
but I'm already missing you,
as I drive down Katie-way.
(considered because it rhymes better, but "Katie Highway" has sentimental value so I won't lose it, and also... Katie-way seems contrived, not to mention immature)

And isn't it ironic 
that after wanting to leave 
for the past ten years of my life,
that now that I'm finally getting out of here,
it's my escape that makes me cry.

And isn't it ironic,
that after trying to get out of here
for the last ten years of my life,
that now that I'm finally doing so,
it's my very escape that makes me cry.

that I've spent ten years of my life 
just trying to get away from here,
but now when I'm leaving, I cry. 


And isn't it ironic-
I've been trying to leave this place
for the last ten years of my life,
and now that I've finally succeeded in doing so,
I've got a reason where leaving it makes me cry.
