# Background

## A House of I

I went on an adventure  
Grabbed resources and making deeds  
Like start to work on the materials  
To build the shelter I need

It was a marvelous one  
At least in the eyes of mine  
And when the sun sets  
I go inside

I went to sleep in comfort  
Hoping to show it to comrades  
Dreaming of dreams  
In the hours that pass

Next day I wake up  
I find myself in a pickle  
"My house is gone, oh dear!"  
Now I feel ill

I can't find a place to live  
Then there I find thou  
I have a simple request  
"Can you make me a house?"

As some time pass by  
You built such structure with potential  
When you said it's made of code  
You're who I'd call special
