The comfort in knowing
All is well
And will be well
The security felt
When a sound
Divulges its character
The overwhelming joy that
Echoes through the room
At a ridiculous story
The calm you keep
Close to the chest
Knowing your needs are met
The common conversations
That you simply
Must absorb in your mind
The familiar scent
Of a home
So loved
you get in the car
your glance rips
from familiarity
each mile
unnaturally separating
The love
The struggle
The pain
The growth
The peace
The memories you crafted fade
As the path ahead expands
You know you must
Commence
You tremble
But trek onwards
Hoping for greatness
Cautioned towards aversiveness
No easier to swallow
The tears well up
As you are reminded of what you had
Friends
Remembrances
Home
Family
Even so,
Being apart
Shows how well off
You were
And still are
They have given you this gift
To separate from the world they made
And form a new one.
