Missing Illinois

Not in a million years did I think I would be saying that, but today was the day.

As I drove to work with the gloomy skies and as the hopes of a thunderstorm lurk in the future,

I miss the warm days and loud thunder during the summer time.

Street festivals and the defening sounds of the cicaidas.

I think, what I miss the most is my on going art project of a house.

Being able to paint walls and decorate however I please.

Having room to store all of our stuff and still having space to do my own thing.

As I get older, I find that whereever we are there is something that you fall in love with.

I left my heart in Chicago over 5 years ago and although I only lived there less than 6 months.
I miss it and there has nothing in comparrison.

Although, california is where I grew up and where I currently reside I wouldn't be human if I still reflect on other places I have been and seen.
