A House Is More Than It’s Four Walls
It’s the ones who dwell inside
Her text alert sounded, I miss you, it read.
She answered, who is this?
An admirer, it said
How can you miss someone that you don’t know?
Oh, I know all about you, I live in your home
She said, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. I live by myself in a house I remade
Yes, these things I know, I love what you’ve done. But you’ve been gone too long, out with your friends having fun.
How did you know what I’ve been up to?
Cause I live in your walls and I sleep next to you

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.

Temporary Girlfriend
Jack shuffled through the crowded hallway of Edison High, the weight of a thousand unspoken anxieties pressing down on him. Valentine's Day loomed like a storm cloud, and the annual dance, a supposed celebration of love, filled him with dread. Jack, a self-proclaimed introvert who preferred the company of ancient texts to teenage flirtation, felt utterly out of his element.

A home is indeed much more than its four walls. It is a sanctuary of comfort, security, and wellbeing, reflecting the unique identities and necessities of its inhabitants. Amidst this personal sanctuary, the importance of maintaining a healthy living environment cannot be overstressed. Introducing a whole house system, like those available at https://filterway.com/whole-house-systems/ , into your living space transcends mere aesthetic enhancements, serving as a testament to the commitment towards a holistic approach to health and comfort. These systems provide every faucet in your home with clean, safe water, directly contributing to the wellness of every household member. Thus, while the structure of a home provides shelter, it is the incorporation of elements like a whole house water filtration system that transforms it into a true haven of health and harmony.
