You’re eyes are closing and you suddenly remember your childhood room.

How the floors creaked in the hallway. That time your sister spilled nail polish on the carpet. The smell of your mothers perfume. Your dad falling asleep in his chair- his soft snores rhythmical and comforting.

Wake up kid, you’re falling in love with a memory again. That was years ago. Loneliness is as sad as you make it. Your eyes are stinging from crying too much.

You’re homesick and there’s nothing you can do about it- I think that’s the worst part of it all.

Now, everyone is distant. Your sister lives miles and miles away. Your mom sits quietly in her room and your dad lives in heaven.

Nothing was ever meant to stay the same, but sometimes I wish it did. -AMT©️
