Voluntarily Go Missing

I always wonder what it would be like if I just up and left. Take a bus to anywheres-ville, leave everything I know, stepped out of my comfort zone, and erase every trace of existance- myspace, my cell phone, ID. I always wondered what people would think, or if people would even notice, let alone care. I always pictured someone trying to call me, and all of a sudden they get a monotone-voiced man explaining that the number is disconnected. Then try to reach me via myspace, but alas the account has been deleted by the user. What would they do? Drive to my house? Go to my work? Would they even care to worry? I always wanted to know. I mean someone can tell you that they would cry and all that bullshit to make you feel appreciated, but would they really cry?

I have no reason to voluntarily go missing, but if I ever go through with this plan for any reason, I just want to say to all the people that I care for- thank you for sharing your life with me.

For the record, I'd be thoroughly disappointed if you just disappeared. I don't know where you live and I don't know how I'd find you, I don't know how much I mean to you, but I'd be upset. This isn't to make you feel appreciated, it's to let you know that someone gives a shit. There are still people that care.

I think I would feel a chunk of my life, my heart torn from me. I'd go to the GAP and ask about you, I'd go to your house and try to leave through the closet.

I'd miss your little laugh that makes everyone else crack up, I'd miss your understanding and our general understanding of each others worries. I'd miss you as a person.
