"_As if I was gone away, too far not to yearn from the distance._" The sound of home away from home is a wake up call on a dismal Sunday morning. It keeps telling me that _I have to go_ but you are still lingering on every corner of this room, you are the faintest light through a window pane as it kindles me out of the dark (somehow). I wonder how the traffic jams and the hums of people on the street would bring you home, the crevices of the floor memorize the gaits and creaks of your footsteps, as if it's a map to our place. And how the furniture recognizes the shape of you as your memories are carved on it. But I wonder why the sound of home away from home is telling me that it's time to go.
