Welcome home.
My heart is once more at home with those I love with a passion, with a heartfelt love unlike any other that I've ever known. Funny how some dudes, when they leave here, tend to forget that such love lives on like raging fire, like flames which cannot be extinguished completely. And with that forgetfulness of love this amazing & awesome, names & faces too recede from memory, if not abruptly, gradually over time. "Life must go on," they say just to make up some poor excuse for why they're not back here as I write these words with a spontaneity that they could never match much less come close to. And so they proceed, without another word to explain why they do not return, why they cannot take the time to pay this town another visit. Not I. Not this man. With love like this, how can I forget my roots? How can I forget the very women whom I represent? I cannot forget either; otherwise my love, my longtime dedication, my longtime support -all of these things would be for nothing. To keep this love alive: this is one of many reasons why I return, to revisit this place when I can. This is why I can say that my heart feels right at home, at ease in the midst of my sorority counterparts; although no longer an undergrad, my love still lives on just the same & with it such dedication & support too few duders ever realize exist - their loss, not mine. Yet another reason why I come back with so much to give, so much more to say, so much to write down...such love as this makes each of the above tasks possible & I wouldn't pass this love up for anything else.
