There have been places
Where I spent a day, night
wished I could stay a while.
It's my happy place
Where I can dream of us
A future painted on canvas
any way we want it.
In my dreams you are whole
the embodiment of my wants
I feel you here
Like a warm blanket.
Keeping me safe.
I wake to fading colours
of what you were.
You are a mere fragment
Of what I need you to be.
Sometimes I wish you were
Everything I needed.
You to be strong
To hold me and protect me.
But you're only human
With faults and flaws
Imperfections to the brim
I don't want perfect,
Just want you to be here.
