My heart is heavy, my eyes are damp
But I have this overwhelming feeling
It isn't melancholic or bitter
I have this expanding feeling
It bursts right from my very core
Travelling down my nervous system
To the very tips of my fingers and toes
I feel it when I kiss him, when he holds me close
It grows and grows and grows
And this feeling
It would not be possible
Without the ones who I felt it for first
Who demonstrated it unconditionally  
From when I was very little to now
I have this infinite feeling
That keeps me safe against the unexpected, against the worry
Who needs blood? Or genetics?
As long as the people who really care about you are always there,
Who needs it?
Hold on tight to your family,
To the ones who keep you safe,
To the ones who teach you to grow
Never take them for granted
No matter how dysfunctional it is
Family is family
This infinite love, this bond
Can never be broken
Blood may be thicker than water, but
Bonds are stronger than blood.
