Coming Home

a poem

Someone asked me the other day if I miss New York,

and the unspoken comparison of this small town in their mind is all I could hear.

People keep asking how I'm adjusting, how I like it here.

I'm shrugging it off, laughing a bit at the looks they give,

telling them that this move was me coming home,

and I was to an extent; I was coming home to you.

You, who is so much harder to miss than a city,

who feels more like home than anywhere I have ever been or ever will be,

who I love enough to be happier here than I ever was before.
