Cry, The Beloved Country

--I just read something that mentioned this book. I started thinking it sounded really familiar like something I had read in college. Well, it wasn't, not really anyways. It was a book I had been assigned in at least three of my English classes but had never finished. Never actually read much more than a chapter or two--true with all the books I was assigned. Though I had written several reports on the book (all A's, I'm sure) and would probably claim it is one of my favorite books. Well, I made this connection after I Googled the title. But that still doesn't cover my familiarity with it, it took about a paragraph and the names of a few main characters in a summary on Sparknotes before I realized that the reason it seemed so close is because I am currently reading it.

I'm not blond, but I don't think "a blond moment" explanation would cover this. How about a Brillo-headed moment. I get my own moment.

Can't Let Go by Landon Pigg

"Well you're the closest thing I have
To bring up in a conversation
About a love that didn't last
But I could never call you mine
Cause I could never call myself yours
And if we were really meant to be
Well then we justify destiny
Its not that our love died
Just never really bloomed."
