But I'm still going to make the best of it.
Randomly I thought about a weird rock band that I, along with about 7 other people in the world, enjoy listening to. Crash Rickshaw. Now I find myself listening to my favorite song of theirs, Time Alone, on repeat. This song reminds me of how Cornerstone felt. It is in essence my own piece of Cornerstone that I can replay over and over again. Have you ever had a song or something else that by itself is insignificant yet it can evoke such strong emotions or memories? That's what this song does to me. It reminds me of people, places, conversations, smells. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and I was back in the van on our way home. The most vivid memory I have is driving down Main Street, turning onto West Penn St and knowing that the journey was ending. I'm overtaken by a desperate, helpless feeling because I know that the greatest adventure of my summer, possibly my life was over. I wanted nothing more than to be sitting in the second row of the church van with Jordan and Claire forever. Surrounded by everyone I love. Surrounded by everyone who loves me.

Time Alone
Taken by a girl who makes me laugh
Typically, I have to be the clown
Her smile lights up the room as she serves her friends
And when the evening ends
It seems that's when the second hand kicks in
It's all good
Time alone
Driving, longing for a never-ending ride home
Where, Oh where have all the hours gone?
We could talk till dawn
About nothing...Everything
Returning home all that's in my head
Every word she said
Every future possibility
Watched you as you sat there
With your eyes closed
As you prayed with me
Power of a Godly woman
Knocks me to my knees
It knocks me to my knees
