Midnight Sun

I fell in love with a new land

like I fell in love with you

hard and fast

out of the blue

not meaning to.

I fell in love with a new place

like I fell in love with you

It felt a bit like home

It was new but comfortable

It fit well 

But I left

I miss it, already

But you felt like home too

You still do

I left a piece of me 

in the land of the talking trees

But you, it wasn't a piece

it was my soul that stayed

I miss the familiarity of a language I don't fully understand

I miss the magic of paint colours

gracing the night skies

I miss it like it was a bit of home

And I miss you

For you felt like home, too.

Wonderful. Powerful metaphors well woven. I love the line "I left a piece of me in the land of the talking trees"

thank you so much :)
Sorry for the delay... I've been in uni mode.

home is where the heart is...but sometimes those clouds inside our heart never let us feel at home...so we keep breaking the lease and moving---if only we could let go of the past, and buy into a new love---without being so scared to.

wow, those are great words. I've never thought of it that way.

You never fail to inspire me. Honestly every time I have a little bit of writer's block I just read one of your poems and I have a fresh idea. You are a great writer!

"I fell in love with a new land
like I fell in love with you
hard and fast"
