Going Home?

Summer days are flying by and my thoughts turn restless over flat drought landescapes and monstrous airplanes.1

Mein Kopf denkt in verschidene Sprach und keine Welt kann alles verstehen.2

I linger over sketch poetry and the bitter love taste of illegal cigarettes, unsure about distant hearts finally re-encountered face to face.3

Half of me longs for sidewalk-burned azure skies,'
the other for hazed mountain backdrops.4

[This makes sleep impossible because I know they'll never mix.]5

Und was soll ich denn jetzt tun? Es gibt kein rigtiges Antwort. Mein Hertz wohnt immer urgendwo ganz weit weg, egal wo ich bin.6

Is there even a real solution?
Instict doubts this.7

I'm finding myself noticing the tiny details, and they're all connected to emotions I recognize, but am unable to explain.8


Notes:
So for anyone who can't understand my rambling, I've been living as an exchange student in Germany for the past 9 1/2 months and will be going home to South Texas in just a few more weeks. Not as easy as I thought it would be, because where is "home" now exactly?
Oh, and the German is randomly thrown in there because my head really does think bilingually these days and none of this was edited at all.

    So when are you coming back? Marina was asking about you today. And yeah its tough to be torn between two places, buts its not neccasarily bad either. You end up carrying both with you.

    • I fly home on July 15. No, it's not bad, but it definately leaves me with a lot of mixed up and confused thoughts/emotions. Can't wait to get back and see everybody again.

    I loved it. It is okay to be torn between things - after all, life is full of experiences and spending so much time in one place it is no wonder you have grown so attached to it.
