haven

1 min


To my love,

it’s funny to have

what you never expect

love, as i understood it

was something outside my reach

until that night

on that bridge

looking for other creatures enjoying the cold

as we were

freezing, and a little bit miserable

separately

we clung to each other

just being

in the darkest part of the year

in the darkest part of my journey

you were there

not to be a light, though you were

but to be there, with me, at that time

in that place

you were humor

and information

and quiet, beautiful, passion

when your hand found mine

for that first time

and every time since

my head gets quiet

it’s so very loud in there

my heart slows

it beats so fast sometimes i think it will fly out of my chest

it says

like home, like home, like home

my breath smooths

it is not trapped in my chest

because you will always feel like home to me

and home is a

haven

and you are

my most wonderful, beautiful surprise
