&ldquo;I believe in everything until it&#039;s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it&#039;s in your mind. Who&#039;s to say that dreams and nightmares aren&#039;t as real as the here and now?&rdquo;<br /> -John Lennon


I know what he meant now
at first it seemed impossible
to leave a place you had only known for a short while
and miss it every day
It’s not that you miss
the warm air
the never-ending floral aroma
or how everyone there treated you like royalty
You miss it because like it or not
you have chosen this place
in all of its perfection as home
You do not simply miss being in paradise
you are overcome with homesickness

I recently took a trip to Maui and fell madly in love with everything about it, I think about it everyday and it hurt to know I can't go back anytime soon.
