Fare Thee Well and The Requiem Mix
It is only in our goodbyes...that we actually see who we really are. Coming and going.
And I am free of her. Her weaknesses. She is dead....
and this Requiem - is for her soul... may it lose the weight of dishonesty!
...and she will soar in colors so blinding (a palette created just for her!)
...and she will always be the funniest one in the room...if only to herself!
