My heart's in Seoul, but my body's in Dakota
My mom wants me to stay home
But I feel like I don't belong
How did this all go so wrong
I used to be foive with a happy fam
And now I'm a grown adult with so
many thoughts in my head
look pretty friendly to me now.
When I was a child I used
to shrink from it all. Now I'm
crumbling like glass heart shattering
at a ball in a room full of people.
My heart sometimes stops thinking
of his face and tiny freckles across his
nose. But I know he'll never know
himself the way I do. My prince, my
guide, my reason to be. And all
he does is simply exist. Is this love?
Or is this just a distraction. My
arms are cold, and my hands long to
hold his own. I don't even know what
to do anymore. Do I go there and have
the 0.1% possibility of meeting him? Or
do I stay home where they say
I should belong. Or does it no matter
as my soul is falling behind? Or
is it someone else I'm supposed to
love? Because right now all I can think
of is him and his adorable freckles.
Maybe we'll never know, cause my heart's
in Seoul, but my mom wants me home
