Tonight I sat in the T.V. room
And watched Dawson’s Creek.
Seeing the town I live in,
But won’t return to for six months.
I am in Australia, thousands of miles away.
No matter how many times I call home,
Or get an email from my friends,
I don’t feel sad, until I see
The downtown that I have wandered
Around on many late nights before,
Or the roads I have traveled
So many miles a day.
These images find their way
To a place in my heart
Where they are the only occupants.
I can’t help but remember
All of the great times
And all of the great people
That I left behind in that town.
It is Wilmington to millions,
And Capeside to even more,
But will always be home to me.
