I’m home

Credit: offset.com

When I see you I hold back tears,

Not the tears that evoke sadness,

But the kind that make you wish to stay,

Because your arms feel more like home than any house,

You lay your head on my shoulder and I silently scream out my love,

You say I make you happy and I’m glad,

You’re the one person whose opinion matters.

Remember me for faster sign in

You’re smile holds the key to my heart,

The key that allows my heart to beat,

I gave you the key willingly, I will never regret it,

The key is yours to do with as you please.

There is not one thing in this world that could stop me from wanting to love and protect you,

I swear to do my best to adore you until you’ll have me no more.
