Four walls A roof And those days waiting for your calls 500 days And you're still not here You said always But it's been over a year First it was Thanksgiving Then it was Christmas I feel guilty For being unforgiving But you chose to miss this I'm not the only one We all shed tears We hide it in the sun And we'll hide it for years You left us here You went alone You chose to disappear Now we're all grown Please come back home *Written May 15, 2013

A question triggered by this piece: If we set them free, hoping for their return so it becomes meant to be, how long do we wait? Is putting a life on hold for another ever really worth it, since time is against us? This was a very thought-provoking piece. Great job!
