My parents moved me and my sister from FL to CA when I was 14 years old and I thought my life was going to be over. You captured the emotions so well with your writing, taking me back to that same place you wrote about.<br /><br />If it's any consolation, my boyfriend who promised to write me every single day never wrote me either. In fact, he found a new girlfriend the following week, I later found out!Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743718606624231459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-70569630755678067192011-04-05T11:37:27.905-04:002011-04-05T11:37:27.905-04:00That is a great song.

I can't imagine having to say goodbye at that age. I graduated with the same people I went to kindergarten with so I had a much different experience. I felt like I could understand and experience what it must have been like through you. I also liked that you added in the end that you never heard from Michael but met someone else.
