He was my home. With him I felt safe, comfortable, loved, beautiful, like I had a place in this world, and that place was with him. Home was wherever he was.

But then he left. No goodbye, no explanation, no warning. Nothing. And even through the blurriness of my tears, the sounds of my sobs, the breaks in my heart, I missed him.

I. Missed. Him.

Can you believe it?

I was homesick for a home that was never really there.

This is how it happened.
