To home, I’d come back running in to you
I’d fly across the seas just to steal a moment with you
I’d cry a river due to the consequences just to come home
I’d trade a good price just so I could feel you again

The first morning dew I breathe
Made me feel the strongest
The first ray of sunlight that shined on me
Gave me the comfort of belonging and safety

It tears my heart to leave again but I have to
If I could stretch the hours, I would
Even if it shall cause my hands to bleed and bones to tear
Even if to robs me of strength, I could hardly care

Oh, your comfort I shall miss for long
I should like to shed tears for you
Weightless tears that mean nothing to the world
My silent plea to stay longer, a few hours more

If a man could live in a moment
I would wish those moments were with you
To bask in the dusty afternoon sweeping off leaves on the backyard
To hope again as the run arises on a new day

To start the day talking to the elderly
Mourning over opportunities lost
And planning for the future
All while sipping a mug of tea

I should like to come home again
To breathe the crisp morning air
To dance in the meadows
And go home with tingly bites of mosquitos

A good eight months long shall I have to wait
A good stretch of patience shall it inculcate
As heartbroken as I can be
beautiful, important things it made me learn and see

That home is where I left
Left, the biggest part of my heart
Where friends were found
And love and family awaits for you all year round

Thus Ive had many homes
But the biggest would be
The one where a huge a mango tree used to be
Where fireflies danced and lizards sung

Where diaries where buried beneath pebbles
Where orchids bloom
Where the air is the sweetest
And the sky at its bluest

I shall come home when the seasons are over
When I am older and stronger
When all has fallen to its proper place
and I am no fazed by fast paced world,


I shall come home when I can already take good care of you...
