Home Is Where The Heart Is

Mine is far away.

They say home is where the heart is and I’m about to be a thousand miles away from mine. With the summer sun high in the sky I am forced to leave the only person who has ever made me feel safe. He is my heart, my soul, my light. I cling tightly to the warmth and security that he has given me. I let the pain that I am feeling flow from my eyes as you wrap me in your solid arms and I breathe you in for what feels like the last time. And it will be the last at least for a while and as we stand there in the airport I try to remember why it is that I am choosing to leave you.

I am told to live and work for my WHY. WHY do I need this, WHY do I want this, WHY is it that I am leaving everything that I love? As I ask these questions I think of the opportunities that this will bring me, the doors that will open, and the confidence that I will find in these next four months. None of those reasons are my WHY. I close my eyes and take a deep breathe as I pull away from your arms and look into your eyes. You, you are my WHY. A life that we will build together that is my WHY, the world that I will see with you that is my WHY, our future family that is my WHY.

Saying goodbye in the hardest part of change and growth, but if we are to grow and change together then then I have to learn to let go of the insecurity of being away from you. I am leaving you so that I can be with you in a future that we both want, I am leaving you so that you can follow the amazing dreams that dance around in your beautiful mind, I am leaving you because I love you and I want to make you proud. You are the reason that I can never, never give up. So I promise you and I promise myself that I will always go 100%. I promise you that I will never give into the self doubt.

I look into the love we share and promise you that I will never let go of us. I promise you I will not let rejection, hunger, or exhaustion be an excuse to stop grinding. I promise you that by the time we reunite we will be able to live the life that we dream about and we will be unstoppable. We will shoot for the stars and sail among them, and I will not let anything stand in my way of flying us up to the sky. I see the world I desire in your eyes, I search myself for the strength that I have never had before. I will need every ounce of it to pull myself away from you.

Home is where the heart is and I leave my heart with you for you are my home, keep it safe my love and wait for me please. You are my heart, You are my home, you are my love. I lift into the clouds and I see the bright blue sky and think of you. I close my eyes and breathe. I am ready to start building a foundation for us, success does not come without sacrifice and I will sacrifice anything and everything for you and for us. Here we go my love a new adventure and phase in our journey together.
