If My Heart Was A House

Description

Chanhee desperately searches for home among all the familiar places.

I wrote this essay for an English task entitled 'Coming Home' and so I thought I'd share it with everyone. I don't think we were meant to write a 2000+ words essay, but I got carried away, ended up writing too much, as you can see. Oh well, the teacher still marked it anyways. I got a B+, though.

Foreword

"You're the sky that I fell through,
And I remember the view, whenever I'm holding you.
The sun hung from a string,
Looking down on the world as it warmed over everything.
Chills run down my spine as our fingers intwine,
And your sighs harmonize with mine.
Unmistakably, I can still feel your heart
Beat fast when you dance with me."

- Owl City [If My Heart was a House]

"Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North.
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home."
