"Letting Go" is about the people and experiences therewith subsequent to having landed a particular single (i.e. no roommate) dorm room in college, on a floor of what I'm remembering to be 10 people - written on the verge of leaving not just that room/dorm, but that university and college life altogether:

        === Letting Go ===

    a year ago, not long away
       I moved into a room
          one of my own

not much to show, nor much to say
      and yet this very room
          became my home

it all seemed very matter of fact
     the future at that point
        had not been shown

  but slowly it revealed itself
  through people likes of which
         I've never known

 a life of moments, not one dull
      a life of fullness lay
          before my eyes

smoke and drink and song and walk
      yet even heartful talk
          to my surprise

     I've always been the one
 whose many letters never seemed
         to bring replies

    but suddenly I find myself
       accepted for myself
         and not for lies

  the end is really here for me
       so listen all of you
           before I go

 thank you for the time you spent
       the feelings shared
     along with what you know

thank you for the laughs and tears
    the good times and the bad
         the high and low

  and as a group for taking time
      and showing me the art
          of letting go

          oh oh oh oh oh
