The Heart Chronicles

➳ Missing You

My heart has never been more longing

To see the faces I used to hate

To go back to the friendships I used to belittle

To rewind to that day with the precious date

It's been seven months and I still think of that day

When I practically wished to leave the place

I used to think the life I lived was so lonely

I wanted to disappear without a trace

And as I sit here and look at my past

I realize the life I lived was the one I wanted

I had everyone I needed, everything that I loved

And now I'm alone in a place much hated

They say you'll never understand the value of something

Until it's gone

That's something I've really learned

As I stood on the bare lawn

They told me I'm homesick

And in a month I'll be fine

But it's been more than half a year

And I still remember the faces that remain in this brain of mine

I miss you

And everyone I used to love and hate

I miss the peace and the sense of belonging

But I guess this is my fate
