Somewhere between Virginia and New Jersey

Follow me, follow me
Only if you dare
But, know this…
Don’t question
Just follow
Or you might
Just wander away
To where…
Nobody really knows
But, that too is an adventure
At least,
So I’ve heard
But, you see
There are some who
Don’t find their way back
I wouldn’t like to see you lost
So,
Follow me, follow me
But,
It is all up to you
We all have our roads
To follow here,
and everywhere between
Dreams and reality

It's funny how nothing changes but everything has.
Familiar faces become not so familiar.
Some songs will take on new meanings; while others will bring you right back into exact moments of forgotten memories.
Photos will always take you back and remind of the better things that you didn’t know you were missing.
Home begins to feel less and less like home but, you go visit old hometowns and places you spent endless days and nights in - just to have a different feeling loom over you as you wander around realizing how different everything is.
And, when the smiles begin to fade from the reminders — I wonder if I’ll ever feel those feelings again — if they’ll ever feel that impactful as they once did. I wonder if I’ll ever have friends like that again and if things will ever feel new again.
