I know because every time I hear the word "love" My mind would jump to you If it wasn't already there. I know Because every time you walk in a room I worry that you can hear my heart Knocking against my teeth. I know Because you can trace the structure of my bones And tell the story of us. But our story grows and so do I, So do we, To make room for more memories. I know Because for the first time Since I became old enough to harbor an awareness, And dislike, Of my body, I believe someone when they say I'm beautiful. I knew The day I unthinkingly referred to a place That I had never considered more than temporary As "home." The only reason I could fathom Is that it's where you are.
