Home sweet home

Today I visited my aunt, that I haven't seen a little while, I used to go to her house every single day play with my cousin, that also I haven't seen a while. And I got that feeling that I'm old. I don't know if is because my birthday is coming but I can't stop feeling dizzy after I visit her house. It's strange how a visit to an old place can make you feel so many things.

Home Sweet Home

I looked the old house I used to play.
The place looks like the same.
The floor now looking old still red, and the walls broken show that it been throught many years there.
The kind face of my aunt greeting me makes me feel safe. Like I haven't in a long time.
The smell of her house, the coffe and the old sofa I used to lie on watching cartoons with my cousin remains, and this makes my heart go slowly.
The little toys still there, my cousin show 'em to me and that breaks my heart. Mine toys are gone.
It's been so long since I've been here, and it still the same. I miss this place, I used to live here almost every day.
How that happened?. How I stopped my routine? I left people I loved behind. For many years I never showed up here and I can't remember why. But I won't let this continue. I'll change it. I can't let this great part of me just stop of exist.
There were my second home. My second fort. I miss it.
Now I can really see the meaning of that saying " Home sweet home."
