It's things about home that can't help but make you smile and feel whole again. It's the construction finished on a building that you've watched from the beginning, it's being in your lovers arms again in a home that you made together. It's seeing those faces around town that you haven't seen for months, it's walking in your city and smiling at the quirks that you've missed so much. It's the trees, more lush than ever, it's the air, it's the feeling inside your heart that feels like peace, that feels like everything that was missing is put back together again. It's the feeling of knowing that when you wake up you'll be waking up here in his arms, knowing that tomorrow will be as beautiful as today.
It's the smallest things that make such a difference, like the way the city streets feel under your feet, the way the max sounds when it's making the corner against the rails in Goose Hollow and the Pearl district at night. It's the places that so many memories were made and it's seeing the smile on your own face. It's the light breeze, just enough for a jacket and the beginnings of fall. It's a few days that you can escape where you are and admire this city for all it is, admire it for how beautiful it truly is, regardless of everything else.
It's days like this that truly keep me alive, that make my eyes blue, that make my smile exist. It's moments like this in my city that I can smile and know that here I fit, here I am loved, here I exist, and perhaps will always. And while I know that tomorrow brings another plane trip (becoming a constant in my life) back to another home, I will always have this city in my heart and I will always have this city in my soul. And no matter how long I am away, or how long my life pulls in other directions, this is where I will always be home, this is where I will always find peace, in his arms, in this city of peace.
