Fernweh

There is no feeling more unrelenting
Than being homesick 
For a place you've never been
For a hand you've never held
A love you've never had
A life you've never lived 
This place you want to get back to
Though you've never seen it up close
But instead perhaps 
Through small rips in the fabric
Glimpses of it in fleeting moments 
Not enough for familiarity 
But enough that you know
It's a place you want to be
To try to find again
So your heart can stop yearning
And your mind can stop wondering
About this place
You've never been
