Today, 

Today, I want you to hold me close.

Hold me close, 

Until I feel safe again,

I miss that feeling.

Sometimes, at night, I fall asleep to the thought of that,

You holding me, close.

In your arms,

So warm,

So familiar,

I feel safe.

 

This is what love feels like, 

I tell myself as my lips uncontrollably start to stretch,

Smiling from ear to ear. 

 

But, 

Tomorrow,

Tomorrow, It’ll be different.

I’ll tell myself that I’m fine.

I can do this without you, 

And that I’ll be happy,

And I will be. 

But today is today, 

And home is where the heart is.

Talking to everyone that crosses her path, she is very different from her once introvert personality. Allowing her curiosity to lead the way into the world.
