A Place for You and Me (However Temporary)
a place of warmth
a place where you wake up to the smell of breakfast
a place of worship (instead of God, you worship love)
a place cluttered with Things (Clothes, Books) and filled with People (Mom, Dad, Sister)
a place that is your House (temporarily) and your home (forever)
House: (noun) a building for human habitation, especially one that is lived in by a family or small group of people.
because a house is a building you live in, rigid, concrete, either you own it or you don't, no soft edges
bills (Unpaid)
rent (Increasing)
Home: (noun) the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.
but home is also bellowing laughter, kisses on the cheek before rushing out the door, birthday parties with only 3 people
love (Infinite)
warmth (Always)
