To whom it may concern,
it may not be important to tell you that between your walls I found my happiness in life
but I'm sure I left some behind,
as you have begun to refill the space, be sure to throw it out, happiness doesn't have the best shelf life.
Although my books are no longer on the shelf I hope you left up, my lessons, still are scattered across,  
forty minutes is too long to bake salmon in the kitchen,
that the lanai is best for midnight wine and a smoke,
and how these walls are no longer home when sleeping alone.
When replacing all you throw out be sure to leave no room for those days.

Also the lanai shade sticks.
A lanai is just Hawaiian for a porch/balcony.
