“Closing Time” by Semisonic

Daily writing prompt
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

I could have sworn I already answered this with regards to a crush I had. That wasn’t super interesting beyond my insane obsession with her; I didn’t have a lot of friends and felt anxious. Everyone has break ups. But I’ll answer it again since my childhood back in Kentucky was also hard to say goodbye to. I had a few troublemaking friends there, pranksters constantly messing around. But yeah that was fun. I only know the best friends name was Jack.

As for the song, the “I know who I wanna take me home” is a reasonably strong line, though overall it’s just a bit overplayed to get into my favorites now.
