Homesick
It’s my fifth night away from home,
And my first night feeling it.
Up til now it’s been nothing but freedom
And enough good times to last forever.
But tonight it was slightly muted,
Smiles were strained
and laughs were forced.
This new place I’ve found
with all these new people
has been my home the last five days,
so why is it suddenly not enough?
I just want to be a part
of both places at once-
because I don’t want to leave,
but I want to go home.
