When did it happen
when was that moment
when you became my home
Your steadiness has kept me safe
it has warmed me from the chill of being alone
I am comforted by your embrace
When the spirit of fear tries to choke my peace
you are there to steady my hands and my gaze

That night when I could not find you
I was amazed how quickly my world fell apart
feeling that you were hurt or the possibility
of your absence from my life
panic became my every inhale and exhale

Then I heard your voice
and my world was sane again
surprise over took me in my realization
of how intricate you are to my life
I am more than wanting you
I need you and that within itself scares me
I have to have you,because you are my home
