A toast to new beginnings.

A great poet once wrote "parting is such sweet sorrow". I have come to understand and agree whole heartedly with this statement over the past few weeks. What with friends leaving and myself on the verge of a new frontier, i find myself taking these words to heart. Of course it will be nice to get away, to escape so to speak. But will i ever learn to love this foreign place as much as the old familiar ground that i have long taken for granted? Will i ever feel free to wander and let myself go in the unexplored crevices that i am to now call home? I am sure with time that i will grow to love this place too, but can it ever fully fill the void that will be left when i leave? Will it ever be enough?
Well, here's to diving off into the deep-end, with nothing but the hope of coming to the surface alive to keep me afloat.

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong


Song of the moment: Feels like home by Chantal Kreviazuk

have you seen the movie garden state? if not, then watch it.. there is a conversation in the pool that completely ties in to what you are talking about.. once you move out, the idea of home is gone.. i couldn't agree more.. my old home isn't even home anymore.. i don't have a home.. i have a house. which in my opinion is very different than a home.
