"A place called Home"

August 30th, 2023 - First week in Lofoten Islands

When I first reached the beach

I thought I was home

Thought that’s what I’ve been missing

Why I felt so alone

I was elated and smiling

So happy to finally know

This emptiness I was feeling

Can finally go

Gone and washed away

I smile once more

But over the next days

My smile drops to the floor

I’m empty again

I don’t feel this as home

I cry to myself

Because I feel so alone

I moan and I groan

Cuz I know what to do

I roll my eyes in defeat

and finally think about you

My heart fills up

The emptiness goes

I didn’t want it to be true

Tried to hide so no one knows

They ask where’s my home

confused what to say

Wandering around the world

Until I met you that day

I guess they are right

Right when they say

Home is where the heart is

And that’s where I stay
