Homesickness -- the places you miss

[Sundae]

I miss times, people and relationships. This means I can thing of a place with enough longing to make my throat burn, but it really isn't the place - a song can bring it back in the same way.

I'm glad I grew up where and when I did though, even if I criticised it constantly at the time. Things have changed so much in my home town now - I know that most of it is an improvement, but there are so many houses now!

I have a beautiful memory of a cold Saturday afternoon spent kissing my boyfriend in the park that was right on the edge of the town centre. A freezing fog had come down and muffled the noise of shoppers and cars, and we felt we were alone in the world, 15, gorgeous and in love. The park is a development of new flats now.
