finally, home

thank you

for the second chance

when i think about the past
or how silicone people felt
i still want to cry

oh dear, how empty
my world felt
when we didn’t talk

i gave more of my heart
to missing you
than i knew how to carry

for years
i tried to become someone else
just to belong somewhere

i thought
i would grow old alone
to leave this world
never to be loved

oh dear, i’m glad
i was wrong

now you’re here
and i know
where i belong

i don’t want to give you everything
to spoil you

i want to give it
to show you
how far my love
is willing to go

sierra,

my daydreams about you
are softer than you think

i imagine visiting you
meeting monica
seeing blue

oh dear, the small things
feel the most important

bringing you apple juice
when your legs feel tired

being the name
beside emergency contact

someday
maybe we will give someone else,
the childhood
we never had

oh dear, if one day
your memory begins to fade

i’ll write the story
of how we met

and read it to you
every day

so you never forget
how much
we loved each other
