Left my hometown for the sake of learning, Living alone in a brand-new city. Unfamiliar nights, silence sinks in, Now I understand my parents' warmth. Crushed by loneliness, A single tear rolls down my cheek. I want to return to that home, And share my thoughts with my family. My father’s quiet scolding on late returns, Enjoying meal prep with my mother. Every little moment replays in my heart, And memories only deepen the ache. Crushed by loneliness, Again, tears trail down my cheek. I want to return to that home, And laugh together with my family. Dreaming of the day I’ll return again, Today, I endure the loneliness alone.
