this time i'll get better

chapter 13: decorations

Lately, I started to buy decorations for my home.

Just the other day I went and bought new paint to color the walls.

So that anyone who comes over feels warmth and comfort.

I got myself a new stove and groceries. Even when I live alone.

So that whoever drops by would leave my house full.

I bought new mattresses and covers.

So when I have guests, they could rest for a while before continuing on their journey.

I got an updated gates and cameras for those mischievous thieves.

So none of my belongings that I hold dear, would be stolen.

I decorated my halls with all that I have achieved, pictures of friends that I recognize as siblings and a pictures of Nala and Kiki.

So when newcomers arrive, they bear witness that I am not at all this cold and lonely person.

I put a lock on my bedroom door for security measures and I put the keys to it somewhere else.

So that when the right person comes, she'll know which door it opens to.

I had my study full of books to keep me occupied.

So I prepare myself with knowledge to lead and guide.

And after all this, I just made my house a home,

Just incase you show up.

So that you can see how much I've grown as a person.

So that you can see that I've changed and able.

So that you can see and recognize that boy you've once fallen for.

And just incase you show up.
