Hiraeth

Noun; a homesickness for a home one cannot return to, or that never was.

  Imagine having a home.

 The only place you truly belong.

 Now imagine having that taken away from you.

 Would you fight? 

 Or would you accept the fact that you can never return?

 You can daydream about all the different buildings

The smell of distant smoke as fireworks go off all around you

 The different sweets and beverages, like Chocolate Frogs and Butterbeer

The floating mountains and waterfalls in Pandora 

or the feeling of cold glass as you press your hand against it for an Orcas viewing 

But it will never change the fact

That you can’t go back
