Hometown

"Whoever imagined that we were childhood townmate, we did not know each other for years, but we played the same fun that passed from the previous gen. We were singing the same trending songs that surely you screamed at the top of your lungs too. We were filled with the same lessons that our schools taught us. It was fun living in a town where all your happiness started from. I dreamed of living in that town until my bones get rusty. And I want to share all my memories in that town with my juniors and grandchildren. And I met you, a boy that was just a heartbeat away from home. It became a place under you. Your resemblance became your soldiers. Your thoughts served as your committee. Your footprints came to be your agendas. It seems like you injected that burg with your history wherein wherever I go, it voted your name in every intersection of that town. I never dreamed of living in a big city. But now, I am living in a crowded place with busy streets and unstoppable noise around me. And I would choose to be in this city forever while you are my hometown. I will not go back."
