in love

a love poem? maybe?

in love

i am in love with the

sun, the way it colours the

sky as the earth spins on

its axis. i am in love with the changing

colours of the leaves, the way

they mark the passing of time

with splashes of orange and red

as far as the eye can see. i am in love

with the rain, the way it leaves

puddles to jump in and an

excuse to cozy up by a fire.

i am in love with the fog, the eeriness of

the Unknown,

the way it shrouds the city leaving

only the tops of buildings visible.

i am in love with being held,

the way it’s comforting and safe

and warm and intimate. i am in love with

closeness, the way i can trace

my fingers up and down your body,

absentmindedly. and i am in love with you,

the way you make me feel at

home and at peace.

but you, you are not in love with me.

Now that they're a 9-hour flight plus a 2.5-hour train ride away, it's suddenly hit me that I now have to navigate this alone. Although there's a huge international student population here in the city (meaning I'm probably not the only kid who's homesick after a week), it feels like everyone I've met is eager and excited to be here. Meanwhile, my brain is trying to convince me that coming here was all one big mistake. I know that in a few days -- or weeks --  I'll start to adjust to life on my own, but right now, it seems like an impossible task. Even though my parents have said that if I wanted to come home...
