Little moments add up

Senior year came so soon

Hanging on to memories

We can make before this June

Whether it's pizza parlors that we come across

Or matching sweatshirts that we found in the mall

Or soaking up all of our high school lasts

Before we're gone next fall

I know change can trigger sadness

But I have no fear at all

Cuz when I come back home

I know my bed will still be made

And all those homesick memories

Will fade right away

Board games still on Friday

Survivor Wednesday nights

Sitting in my dorm

I'll join in spirit, not in sight

Whether it's loads of classes or I've made new friends

I'll still be calling home each morning just to get your two cents

Or when I see the family group chat

Talking about some fun event

Even though I won't be there

I'll wanna hear how it went

And when I come back soon

I'll appreciate much more

Now that I've experienced life

Outside my front door

Life has changed

So much in the last four years

From normal life

To a world filled with fear

Before I know

I'll be dressed in a cap and gown

Then goodbye to

Life in my hometown

Whether it's church on Sundays

Or late talks at night

It will all remind me of the home

That gave me life

And when I come back soon

To the place I lived

That was and is and will always be

The home that makes me, me
