Home sweet home?

Now I have lived in this town for more than 9 years without even moving once between houses. For me that is a personal record, but somehow I don't feel like home. I have had so many homes since I was born that the other day I decided to make a list of them before I will forget. (The names of the towns are bold and the names of the streets follow).

Quoting myself

Love is like a sound. We can only keep the volume high by touching the right button.

Happily empty

like air, food and water
are keeping my body alive
things only you can give me
are keeping my spirit alive

I cant call them vital
but without them
I feel hungry, thirsty and
sometimes it is hard to breath

so the best I can do now
is to pretend that I don't care
and hope I can hide my feelings
until I find happiness again

nothing lasts forever

Lovestory

A stranger came from out of nowhere
and asked if I wanted to play with him.
I was feeling shy at first, but said yes.
He took my hand and told me to run.
Laughing we ran together in the snow.
There was ice on the streets and I fell.
After carefully making sure I wasn't hurt
he helped me to get back on my feet
and said it would be better idea to walk.
So we walked together in the sunshine
on a beautiful, hot day and I got tired.
He told me to rest among the flowers
while he would go and bring some water.
And even though he never really left
somehow he wasn't with me anymore.
Just like that and from out of nowhere.

I'm thankful for all the sweet little

surprises you brought into my life

it wouldn't be the same

without them

without them

I would probably still

be that confident and happy person

who you fell in love with

back then

back then

when I thought my life

was just about to begin for real

and I didn't know how wrong I was
