Tears swell in my eyes<\/p>\n
Pain in my chest<\/p>\n
An ache in my heart<\/p>\n
My body feels weak<\/p>\n
My life feels like it\u2019s not moving<\/p>\n
I am so far from home<\/p>\n
Yet getting so much closer to going back<\/p>\n
I am away<\/p>\n
But I know I will be back home<\/p>\n
The feeling of being so far from you<\/p>\n
The homesickness<\/p>\n
The feeling that part of me is missing<\/p>\n
Only a few more weeks<\/p>\n
This feeling will only be here a little longer<\/p>\n
I cannot wait to reunite<\/p>\n
To be in your arms<\/p>\n
To feel your embrace<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve waited my whole life for you<\/p>\n
Just let me come home<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to be homesick anymore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
