Here.

Dad doesn't approve of my use of the word "necessary",

when it comes to this pretty pair,

but I wasn't going to stop wearing my old ones 

until I had replacements,

and they were getting to be 

"embarrassing," according to Mom.

So now my life has a little more turquoise in it...

which it needed,

Obviously.

I like coming to Sioux Falls

and remembering who I want to be. 

Regrets hurt a little less ,

and Dreams breathe a little easier.

Here, Lonely is simply a word,

instead of a feeling.
