i asked you to come home,
the place that i
believed that you
would always belong to,

i didn't know
that you found home
in someone else,

i didn't know
that you found a better place,
one where you no longer
needed me in your life,

i promised to
leave the outside light
on at all times,
even when you swore
that you wouldn't
be coming back,
but i was trying to
remain optimistic,

so the light will stay on
and, maybe, one day,
you'll find your way back to me
