Bound Home
Home is home.
Home is lots of things:
Home is the warm dinners that draw everybody together,
The long nights lazily gazing up at the stars,
The crystal clear lemonade served during the summer,
The everlasting barbeques that are with a side of family,
The high school sweetheart that you still wonder if you could've worked,
The extended family.
But it's also
The broken hearts of ex lovers,
The sorrow of high school victims,
The crushing irritation of wanting to get out,
The split personality of betraying friends,
The sadness of long lost relatives that you'll never see again,
The desperate anticipation of your younger years.
Home is lots of things.
But home is home.
