When the timer expired in June of 2009,
And I said goodbye, numb to all of the appropriate feelings,
The journey from Columbia to Summerville, South Carolina,
Was filled with 90 straight minutes of tears.
And then, raw, red, and exhausted,
with Felix Mendelssohn's words,
A small sliver of the world, for perhaps the only time,
Knew me.
