Not at home.

Now or ever again.

I am not home. Like I said, I am not home and I am not sure when I will be back. But even if I was there, you won’t find me there, if you really, sincerely, must ask.

And if I am being truthful, I may never go there again. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s simply just a matter of fact.

Knock all you want, I won’t answer.

Text all you want, I won’t reply.

And if you feel so inclined, walk through the front door, but don’t expect, even a second, to see me inside.

As I mentioned before, I am not home and not even for a moment do I wish I was there.

Honestly, if my house was two stories, I promise you could try, but you would never find me upstairs.

My house is only one floor, but as I have explained before, you will have to wait a long time, if you knock on my door.

I am not home.
