Somewhere between Heaven and Hell, there exists a place called Home. It's never quite as good as paradise, and it's never quite as painful as penance. It is different things to different people, and not at all to some.
Home is bittersweet and tattered silk. It is the medium between the extremities, teetering delicately upon a weathering precipice. It is never perfect, but an intricate beauty resides within its ugliness. Perhaps it is most beautiful in its disarray and ability to be mortally flawed. There is a certain symmetry in Home's inevitability to be asymmetrical- we come to depend on its undependable nature.
Everyone has a Home, regardless of what they preach. Whether it be of brick and mortar, or merely a secret place within your thoughts, Home forever remains a place you can return to in times of need or moments of want.
Home is-
"Mickey, you coming?"
Home, for Riku, exists within a place he can no longer reach. But I prefer to think he’s merely taking an extended vacation.
"Yea, sure." I nod.
Someday Riku will find his Home again. No wooden porches and no cement foundations. There will be no warm fireplaces and no worn easy-chairs waiting for Riku in his home. Neither any salt breezes nor sandy shores.
There will be but an encompassing, never-ending love, taking perfect shape within a heart- a heart of a boy. And forever those two will remain, taking residence inside each other.
"Hey." He zips his cloak. "Did I ever tell you about the paopu fruit we have back home?"
"No," I say. It’s what I’ve said for the past seven years.
"There’s this legend that..."
Someday we’ll find him again.
Home is where the heart is, and Riku left his in capable hands.
