The secret only runaways know

Every lesson youโ€™ll ever learn is a new definition of home. 
But there are mountains beyond those mountains, you know.
You'll carry your own torch. You'll feel at home everywhere, anywhere
you happen to be when you think of how strong your legs have gotten.
Look, being prepared doesn't make it happen, but ignoring it
doesn't mean it won't. Iโ€™m not sorry for leaving, only I wish
I loved someone worth bringing along for the ride. Rather, I wish
someone loved me enough to come. I guess thatโ€™s a gift of its own:
For a few short months, I belonged to myself, and I wasnโ€™t afraid.
