Second Chances

~~~~



We passed each other
a long time ago,
and neither noticed
or cared.
We passed by again,
but this time
something sparked.
Your eyes sought mine
and we both
seemed to know.

DON'T GO

DON’T GO



Don’t go.
Please.
Stay with me.
I don’t want to be alone.
And I’ll be alone
unless you’re with me.
You make me whole,
as if I’ve always been
just part of me
until you.
I need you here
because you hear what I say,
and you don’t judge.
I feel like I can be
exactly who I am,
good or bad,
and you are you,
my strength in hard times,
my playmate in the good,
never questioning.
So stay.
And hold me,
breathe on my neck
as you brush your lips there.
Lie with me
so I can sleep.
You are my anchor.

BELONGING HERE

BELONGING HERE



I lie with my head on your chest
and listen to your heart beat.
Steadily, strongly.
It comforts me.
Just being here,
close to you,
and feeling your warmth
gives me peace.
I breath deeply,
savoring your scent,
the scent that means home
and safe.
I belong here.
