#deep in the heart of texas baby that’s where my heart’ll always be

[useramor]

i grew up in texas and i don’t live there anymore but just. well. i miss the texan sunsets and the sweet tea and days so hot i felt like i was dying and i miss lake days and rivers and picnics and i miss tailgate parties and football games that i’d go to just to laugh with my friends and cheer when burnt orange scored even though i never understood a damn thing about the game and i miss the middle aged women who called me sugar and the large men with kind smiles who would walk into any room with a hey y’all and god i miss y’all and i miss tacos and barbecue and stopping at buc-ees on my way home from every choir competition and i miss driving to whataburger just to eat in the parking lot and panic when i accidentally get ketchup on the leather seats of my best friend’s mom’s minivan and i miss looking up at the sky and being able to point out whole constellations because i live in a city now and can’t remember the last time i looked up and saw anything but dull midnight blue. i hated texas when i was growing up all i wanted was to leave and never come back but oh. texas, i love you. i love you i love you i love you.
